[ scene_break ] [ liquid pours ] [ glass thuds ] [ scene_break ] chelsea : i got your message . what 's going on ? why do we need to talk about adam ? victoria : it 's more about the secret that you 're keeping from him . chelsea : what secret ? victoria : i was at the hospital when adam was shot , and i was about to go into his room . i saw you in there talking to him . he was unconscious , so he did n't hear what you said , but ... i did . chelsea : what did you hear ? victoria : he 's the father of your baby . i 'm glad that you 're not denying it , because i do n't want to waste time with games . i know that you suspected that i knew . chelsea : but you never let on before , so why are you telling me now ? what do you want , victoria ? victoria : chelsea , please do n't worry . i 'm on your side . chelsea : really ? ! because this feels like an ambush to me ! victoria : you have given billy and me so much happiness , being able to raise johnny on our own , and you deserve that same happiness with the child that you 're carrying . chelsea : well , if adam finds out that this baby is his , i will never get that chance . victoria : i know . you 're probably right . chelsea : i know i 'm right ! victoria : which is why you and i need to work together to keep him in the dark . chelsea : why would you do that for me ? why does this matter to you ? victoria : the last thing that i want is adam knowing that he has a newman heir , and trying to use that to worm his way further into my father 's good graces . adam already suspects something . chelsea : why do you say that ? victoria : i overheard him trying to pry information out of your obstetrician on the telephone . chelsea : what ? ! dr. mallory ? victoria : your ex is trying to prove that this baby is his . and that worries me , chelsea . it should worry you , too . chelsea : oh , my god . adam -- adam ... came to me , demanding -- demanding the truth , but i - i thought i shut him down . victoria : well , apparently , you did n't . but you need to , and fast . [ keys jingle , door opens ] billy : hey . victoria : hey ! billy : sorry i 'm late . i 'm just -- what 's going on ? victoria : oh , chelsea and i just bumped into each other , and i asked her to come over and -- and say hi to johnny . chelsea : yeah . it was great . um , i 'll get out of your hair now . thank you ... for everything . victoria : you 're very welcome ! billy : bye . chelsea : bye . victoria : see you ! billy : [ clears throat ] you never wanted her to be close to johnny before . victoria : i know ! i 'd ... just been worried that she was gon na try to take our son . billy : and now you 're not ? victoria : look -- would you please just forget about why chelsea was here ? i want to know where you were . it seems like every time we try to plan a romantic evening , you 're missing in action . where do you keep disappearing to ? billy : [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] fenmore : look . i 'm sorry if i scared you guys . i 'm just shaken up . lauren : yeah , but what if those boys come around again ? fenmore : oh , they wo n't , not after the way carmine chased them off . michael : carmine ? fenmore : yeah . yeah -- carmine basco . michael : we know who carmine is . lauren : how do you know him ? fenmore : we 're friends , sort of . michael : no , no . i do n't want you hanging around with carmine . fenmore : why not ? michael : carmine is no friend to this family . he , among other things , attempted to kidnap your aunt chloe . he is bad news . fenmore : then i guess he must have changed , 'cause he 's pretty cool now . michael : all right ! look . i do n't want you hanging around with carmine basco . he is not cool . i do n't want you anywhere near him . do you understand ? [ scene_break ] kyle : so , can i order you a ... soda ? summer : [ sighs ] yeah , i guess you 're used to being out with women who are old enough to drink , huh ? kyle : well , actually , some of my worst dates were over a glass of wine -- not that this is a date , per se . just two people having dinner . summer : yeah ! y - yeah , it 's just totally dinner . kyle : not that your dad would really care about the semantics , i guess , if he knew we were out together , though . summer : well , lucky for us , he does n't . kyle : lucky for us . [ scene_break ] nick : avery and i are fine . sharon : really ? totally back on track ? nick : absolutely . sharon : mm . and the engagement -- is that back on , too ? nick : it will be , as soon as i can ... [ sighs ] ... work through these personal issues . sharon : the issues that are bothering you so much , i assume . what decision did you make that 's eating away at you ? nick : i ca n't talk about it with you . sharon : with me ? nick : with anyone . sharon : nick , i hope you know by now you can tell me anything . nick : look -- i have n't talked about this to any living soul , okay ? i promise you i 'm not singling you out . sharon : i know you better than almost anyone , and i can see that you are suffering . whatever this is ... you ca n't let it eat away at you like this . nick : i ca n't help it . i mean , it is all i think about . i have to figure out ... what to do . sharon : well , if it would help you to unburden yourself with someone who knows the kind of person you are ... i 'm here . [ scene_break ] billy : as i started to say when i walked in , before i realized that we had company , i apologize for being late . i set everything up , as you can well see . however , you got detained by that meeting that went on and on and on . and , frankly , i got tired of waiting on you . victoria : i called to let you know i had been delayed . billy : yes -- by adam and victor , right ? did n't think that meant that you were going to blow off our entire romantic evening , but hey . victoria : well , i 'm here , are n't i ? ! and you still have n't said where you were ! billy : do you have any idea how many places i had to go to to find these ? victoria : oh , my god . oh ... billy : yep -- the exact same masquerade - ball masks we wore to the masquerade ball at the athletic club before we got married , when we decided to slip away , get our own room , and make mad , mad , crazy love . victoria : and then the building exploded . billy : uh - huh . are you sure that was the building ? victoria : [ laughs ] billy : i was kind of hoping that these things could give us the same results ... maybe even better this time . victoria : do you know what ? i have so many fond memories from that night . do you remember how ticked off my dad was that we were together ? i mean , you went and bought this totally different mask so that he would n't even recognize you ! billy : yeah ... victoria : that was so sweet ! [ laughs ] billy : you 're gon na bring up your dad right now , when i 'm trying to do this with you ? it just -- victoria : oh , billy , wait ! no ! i 'm sorry ! i 'm so sorry . billy : yeah . victoria : i did n't mean it . billy : you 're always sorry . you never mean to do it , but -- victoria : look , i do n't want to talk about my dad tonight , either , especially after -- [ sighs ] he wants me to try and play nice with adam , which is never gon na happen . if anything , it just makes me more determined to bring him down . billy : no , you 're not -- you ca n't -- you 're not gon na -- you ca n't do that . [ scene_break ] adam : what can i do for you ? chelsea : you can respect my privacy , starting now . adam : whatever that means . chelsea : i know you called my o.b . , trying to get my private medical information . adam : well , then you would also know that she did n't tell me anything . chelsea : because there 's nothing to tell , adam , other than what you already know . i 'm having a baby with dylan . adam : is that so ? chelsea : what 's this ? [ scene_break ] dylan : adam 's been harassing chelsea . [ sighs ] and i want to protect her . i want to protect the baby , just in case he wants to cause some trouble . avery : yeah . well , i saw the tension between them earlier . he was ... being hostile . dylan : then you know why i 'm concerned . avery : [ sighs ] i know their marriage ended badly , and he 's obviously still upset . dylan : you defending the guy ? avery : no ! do n't forget -- i work with him , so i know how cold adam can be . but i know that he loved chelsea , and it must be tough for him to see her moving on with another man , especially since you 're having a child together after he and chelsea lost a baby of their own . dylan : well , it was more than just what happened at crimson lights . adam went to see chelsea . he accused her of lying and wanted to know if the baby was his . avery : why would adam be questioning that ? are you ? [ scene_break ] fenmore : you and dad , together , under the same roof . good sign ? michael : okay , let me take a look at that cut . lauren : i got it . michael : let me . let me do it . lauren : okay . michael : come here . fenmore : [ scoffs ] guess that 's my answer . michael : what was the question ? sorry . fenmore : you 're -- you and mom are n't getting any better . you 're getting a divorce , right ? michael : no , we 're not . fenmore : well , good . at least one thing in my life is n't horrible . [ both sigh ] fenmore : well , thanks for fixing me . i 'll be in my room . michael : [ sighs ] lauren : i 'm glad you reconsidered . michael : do n't read too much into that . everything is telling me that it 's over between us . i 'd ask you for a divorce tonight if i did n't think it would hurt our son more than he 's already hurting . lauren : he is . he needs us . it would give us an opportunity to , uh -- to work together ... be a family again . michael : you 're assuming that i can forgive you . i 'm not sure that 's possible . i will pretend , if that 's what it takes to protect our son . i hope i can pull it off . i used to think i was a pretty good actor when the situation called for it . but you put me to shame . [ cell phone chimes ] michael : it 's fenmore 's new friend . lauren : [ sighs ] [ thud ] lauren : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] adam : any of those dates look familiar to you , sweetheart -- especially the ones i have marked in red ? chelsea : that 's the last night i spent at the lake house . adam : that 's also the last night we made love . chelsea : yep . and then the next morning , you chose newman over me , and i left . adam : mm - hmm . and then you came back ... several times . you had something important you had to tell me , but you never got the chance . chelsea : i was hoping that you 'd convince me that i was wrong for giving up on our marriage . but then , seeing you and sharon together again and again , knowing you would continue to run to her every time she called -- knowing you 'd continue to run to victor every time he snapped his fingers -- knowing you and i would never want the same things at the same time -- i realized i was right ! [ chuckles ] adam : well , it could have been that night . chelsea : it was n't . adam : you seem so certain . chelsea : i am certain , adam . i mean , would n't i know ? do n't you trust that i - i know my own body ? ! adam : i 'm just trying to wrap my head around this whole thing . that 's all . and i keep thinking -- and i ca n't stop thinking -- what if that baby were ours ? chelsea : this is hard for me , adam , okay ? but the baby -- it 's not yours ! okay ? and if you ever really cared about me , you will just -- you will just let this go . accept it . just accept that i 'm having another man 's child ! [ scene_break ] dylan : the baby 's mine . end of story . avery : okay . well , i ca n't think of any reason why chelsea would lie about that , especially now that you two have gotten so close . dylan , i know how much having a child means to you . dylan : what about you ? avery : me ? dylan : yeah , i - i know it meant a lot to you , too . avery : yeah , it did . dylan : i assume you and nick will start a family . avery : well , you know , if nick and i ... decide to actually get married , i 'm gon na inherit one -- a young man , a willful teenager , and a little girl who could take or leave me -- mostly the latter . [ chuckles ] dylan : what about a son or daughter of your own ? avery : i -- you know , i - i - i do n't know what the future holds for me , so -- dylan : uh , whatever you decide , avery , i know this -- any child would be lucky to have you as a mother . [ scene_break ] sharon : faith , um , drew her big sister a picture , but i think ... i think i left it in the car . [ sighs ] i ... brought this book . it was the one cassie was reading when ... nick : i remember that book . every time i looked , she had her nose buried in it . sharon : it was her dramatic year . nick : [ chuckles ] sharon : she was ... really into poetry and anything romantic . you know , when i picked this book up off the shelf , i noticed that she had this page marked . nick : it 's one of her favorites . sharon : `` when midnight mists are creeping ... and all the land is sleeping , around me tread the mighty dead , and slowly pass away . lo , warriors , saints , and sages , from out the vanished ages , with solemn pace and reverend face appear ... and pass away . the blaze of noonday splendor , the twilight soft and tender , may charm the eye . [ voice breaking ] yet they shall die ... and pass away . `` nick : `` but here , in dreamland 's center , no spoiler 's hand may enter , these visions fair , this radiance rare , shall never pass away . `` sharon : i love you , baby . [ sighs ] i think i 'd like to stop at the chapel and light a candle . nick : i would n't mind a couple minutes alone with her . sharon : okay . sure . nick : `` dreamland `` by lewis carroll . i never knew what any of that meant . but i could just see how excited you 'd get when you were reading it . you 'd read it out loud , say , `` daddy , listen to this ! `` have i been living in a dreamland ... by making the choice that i did ? convincing myself that there was only one way this paternity test could come out ... and spending the next 18 years believing it . i could have got another test . but what if it was ... a result i did n't want ? but now i have to because of kyle . if summer turns out to be jack 's ... ... then i will have lost a second daughter . and god help me , cassie . i do n't know if i 'm strong enough to face that . [ scene_break ] kyle : you actually like the lumineers ? summer : yeah . you 're kidding . `` flowers in your hair `` is , like , one of my favorite songs . kyle : seriously ? summer : yeah . kyle : that blows me away . i mean , they 're just so ... summer : adult ? kyle : i was gon na say folksy , but -- summer : oh , folksy . uh , yeah . i actually really like mumford & sons , too . okay , do n't have a heart attack just because i like some music that 's not some teenybopper singing about getting a boy 's number . kyle : [ chuckles ] sorry . i guess , uh , you know , spending some time with you tonight , getting to know you a little bit more ... you really have grown up . [ scene_break ] michael : you leave my son the hell alone . [ scene_break ] fenmore : where 's dad ? lauren : uh , he ... had to go someplace . fenmore : but y - you guys are really gon na work things out . yeah ? lauren : yeah . dad says so . i say so . fenmore : there 's nothing like a beaten - up kid to bring a family closer . lauren : honey ... [ sighs ] we 're really worried about you . fenmore : look -- if you guys are okay ... i will be , too . do you think you will be ? lauren : i love your dad so much . but sometimes , marriage is n't easy . fenmore : why do people always say that ? lauren : well , because it 's true . things happen , and ... [ sighs ] ... couples can forget why they got married in the first place . fenmore : but it sounds like you and dad are working hard to remember . lauren : [ exhales sharply ] one of us is . [ sighing ] oh . [ scene_break ] victoria : why should n't i go after adam ? billy : because , sweetheart ... you are doing everything you swore you would n't do when you got involved with newman again . you 're obsessed . you 're getting frustrated . you 're getting angry . you 're getting hurt . and you 're focusing all of your attention on getting back at adam instead of where it should be -- with us , on us . and come on . seriously ? i mean , really ? hiring not just one but two p.i.s in hopes of digging up some sort of dirt on adam . you know what ? that is the sort of war that victor wages . that 's not who you are , is it ? that 's not the woman i married . that 's not the mother of my children . that 's not the person that you really want to be , is it ? victoria : you 're right . this is just getting way out of hand . i mean , if adam and my dad want to have a relationship ... why should i be so bent out of shape about it ? i mean , how does it detract from my relationship with my parents , right ? billy : it does n't . adam ca n't touch that , and you used to know it , but , honey ... [ chuckles ] ... you 're just letting your old insecurities rule you instead of seeing and focusing on what 's really going on ! victoria : right . i know . and i let those same insecurities make me late tonight , after you made this beautiful paradise out of our living room . billy : [ scoffs ] victoria : i 'm so sorry , billy . i 'm so sorry . would you please forgive me ... so we can get back to our plans for tonight ? billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : please ? billy : well , when you say it like that , i think that we probably can . except for -- actually ... victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : ... i like you a lot better ... like this . come here . okay . let 's go make a baby . hmm ? victoria : all right . billy : all right . victoria : and if we 're successful , maybe i 'll be able to give my father something that adam could n't -- another newman heir . billy : my god . are you serious ? is that why you want to have a kid so bad ? are you serious ? ! did you just say that to me ? ! victoria : [ sighs ] no ! okay , listen ! i did n't mean that the way it sounded ! i want a baby with you because i want a baby with you ! billy : stop . that 's an idea you got right after adam took a bullet for your old man and they became best buds . victoria : oh , come on , billy . do n't be ridiculous . come on . billy : me do n't be ridiculous ? you 're the one who keeps saying that you want to put your family first . but how can you do that when you 're so obsessed with newman ? you want me to be your stud pony so you can get one up on adam ? yeah . well , then , you and i -- we do n't deserve a kid . so let 's just forget it . [ scene_break ] adam : `` if i ever cared about you `` ? you know that i did . chelsea : and i cared about you , too , adam . i still care , whether or not you want to believe that . i want you to be happy with the choices you 've made . please let me be happy with mine . adam : [ sniffles ] playing house with one big , heaping scoop of vanilla ? chelsea : starting a new life ... that includes a baby and the baby 's father . adam : i want you to be happy , too . chelsea : thank you ... for understanding ...

[ scene_break ] chloe : no , i am not jealous of you and philip . i just do n't want either one of you to get your heart broken the way that i did . stephanie : thing is , when someone who barely knows me talks about how they 're worried about me and my heart , i do n't know , it just seems a little funny , like there 's something else at work . i do n't know what , but something . chloe : whoa , paranoid . stephanie : i did n't ask for your advice , chloe . chloe : i was just trying to be helpful . stephanie : by depressing me , telling me that my relationship with philip is doomed before it even begins ? chloe : no , from someone who has experience and who has learned the hard way . but you know what ? if you think i 'm a big phony , then i 'm just gon na be on my way . stephanie : wait . chloe : what ? stephanie : well , now you have me curious . what should i understand ? chloe : why should i tell you now ? stephanie : please ? sorry i was being so defensive . chloe : all i was going to tell you was that philip is not the same guy that i fell in love with . granted , we were both really young when we got together , and he 's been through a lot since . stephanie : okay , maybe you can get to the point . chloe : well , i broke his heart . when i dumped him for brady , it destroyed him . and i know that he 's been very wary of getting close to anyone ever since . stephanie : okay , i will make a mental note of that . thank you . chloe : and you 're young , and you just got out of this bad breakup with max . stephanie : okay , i get it . it 's gon na be one big train wreck , so philip and i should stay away from each other . that 's it , right , in a nutshell ? chloe : i 'm just telling you to be careful . that 's all . for both your sakes .

[ scene_break ] rafe : hold on a minute . i gave you the idea to give your baby to a nun that you have met twice in your life ? how do you figure that ? sami : because you told me about sister agnes , what little you 've said about anything . rafe : oh , god , please , not this again . sami : come on , rafe . you 're the one who talked about how influential she was in your life and how that convent really meant something to you , what a good place it was . and that 's more than you 've said to me about anything , except for police business and the bears . rafe : well , whatever . i sure as hell never meant to give you any ideas about your own kid . sami : i was raised catholic . my faith means something to me . if i ca n't take care of my baby myself , then i really do believe that that convent is the right place for him or -- or her . certainly a hell of a lot better than being raised by the dimeras . rafe : you better watch those `` hells `` around sister theresa . sami : why should i bother ? you wo n't let me get anywhere near her . rafe : and you know exactly why that is . it 's because i am trying to help you . i can not let you come in contact with other people , especially now that the killer 's i.d .

[ scene_break ] chloe : no , i am not jealous of you and philip . i just do n't want either one of you to get your heart broken the way that i did . stephanie : thing is , when someone who barely knows me talks about how they 're worried about me and my heart , i do n't know , it just seems a little funny , like there 's something else at work . i do n't know what , but something . chloe : whoa , paranoid . stephanie : i did n't ask for your advice , chloe . chloe : i was just trying to be helpful . stephanie : by depressing me , telling me that my relationship with philip is doomed before it even begins ? chloe : no , from someone who has experience and who has learned the hard way . but you know what ? if you think i 'm a big phony , then i 'm just gon na be on my way . stephanie : wait . chloe : what ? stephanie : well , now you have me curious . what should i understand ? chloe : why should i tell you now ? stephanie : please ? sorry i was being so defensive . chloe : all i was going to tell you was that philip is not the same guy that i fell in love with . granted , we were both really young when we got together , and he 's been through a lot since . stephanie : okay , maybe you can get to the point . chloe : well , i broke his heart . when i dumped him for brady , it destroyed him . and i know that he 's been very wary of getting close to anyone ever since . stephanie : okay , i will make a mental note of that . thank you . chloe : and you 're young , and you just got out of this bad breakup with max . stephanie : okay , i get it . it 's gon na be one big train wreck , so philip and i should stay away from each other . that 's it , right , in a nutshell ? chloe : i 'm just telling you to be careful . that 's all . for both your sakes .

lizzie : no , why ? alan : i just want to make certain . if they do , i want you to let me know , do you understand ? lizzie : yeah , but why would they do that ? alan : well , they 're very desperate right now . i mean , your uncle gus does n't care if harley is guilty or not . lizzie : but you think she is ? alan : i think he will do anything to make sure she is set free . lizzie : well , he does love her . alan : he loves her , but he 's not interested in justice for what happened to your father . he 's interested in trying to find someone who is guilty -- someone other than harley . lizzie : anyone ? alan : absolutely . i think that gus would throw your mother to the wolves and you as well . gus : lizzie lied . harley : okay , let 's not jump to conclusions here . maybe you just misunderstood . gus : i did n't misunderstand anything . she said she drove over here the night her father was killed the two of them . they were together the entire night . harley : are you sure ? gus : she said she could never forget it . harley : because beth told me lizzie was on the porch when she got here . gus : are you sure ? harley : i am sure , okay ? beth was not lying , she was happy to spill her guts . gus : lizzie 's lying . harley : no , okay , wait a second . where are you going ? gus : i 'm going to beat the truth out of her . harley : i put beth through hell ; i do n't want to do the same thing to lizzie . gus : she probably killed her father . she 's going to have to pay for it . harley : gus ! gus : harley ! give me my car keys . harley : no . gus : give them to me . harley : i do n't want you harassing lizzie . gus : why are you protecting her ? she 's tough as nails . harley : she 's a kid , look what she 's already been through . gus : look what you 've been through . she probably pulled the trigger . harley : i do n't think so . gus : she has killed before . come on . harley : she was protecting beth then . gus : what 's the difference ? harley : the difference is we 're talking about her father . she adored him . she loved him more than anything and he loved her , too . i ca n't even think about it . gus : well , it 's better than thinking about going to jail . harley : that 's a good point , but if she had done it we would know . she 'd be a basket case . gus : maybe she is a basket case . harley : can we just leave her alone ? gus : do n't you want the truth ? do n't you want ... harley : i do . i do . i really do . gus : you understand we have to question her . harley : i understand . can we just go easy on her ? gus : no problem , but we 'll question her . harley : we 'll question her , but i will question her and you can be there just to , you know , gauge her reactions . harley : like good cop ; bad cop ? harley : no , good cop ; silent cop , okay ? what 's that smile . gus : this is kind of like old times . lizzie : wait , so you mean gus is going to come after me ? alan : i think what your uncle gus is trying to do is create doubt , take the focus away from harley and put it on anyone else . and i think you are a very easy target for him . lizzie : why would he do that if wants the truth ? alan : he does want the truth , as long as it does n't point to harley . lizzie : so what if it does n't point to harley . what if you 're wrong ? what if ... i do n't see harley doing that . alan : elizabeth , i think it 's time that you understood what the coopers are really capable of . lizzie : i know they 're annoying , but i mean ... alan : they took your father away from us and now harley has taken gus . lizzie : why me ? why ... she knows i 'm not psycho . alan : of course you 're not , darling . of course you 're not . now , you trust me , do n't you ? lizzie : of course i trust you . it 's just , harley and i , we had such a great relationship , you know . alan : i know that . i know that . but people change . gus and i used to be very close until just recently . people make bad decisions . lizzie : i know , but ... i mean gus was a cop and so was harley . that 's what they do . they do the right thing . alan : yes , but not this time . and if they have their way , no one will pay for what happened to your father . now , is that what you want ? lizzie : i want the killer to pay . alan : of course you do . harley . listen to me . harley and gus are the enemy of our family and they have to be punished . lizzie : are you going to punish them ? alan : i have no other alternative . but you 've got to promise me something : you will stay away from them . you will not communicate with them on any level . it will make me very unhappy . do you promise me that ? lizzie : yeah . alan : you know , i 'm doing this for your father . lizzie : i know . it 's what daddy would want . alan : you bet that 's what he would want . now , you run on to the gym , okay ? lizzie : bye . alan : bye , sweetheart . ray : you want a piece of me , tony ? come on . do n't let the collar stop you . come on , bring it on . tony : ray , it 's not a good idea . back off . ray : you 're in my church , little brother , or is that just a coincidence ? michelle tell you what we talked about ? tony : she told me . ray : you ca n't see where i 'm coming from ? tony : why do n't you tell me as a man . ray : i do n't want to see you get hurt . tony : all you 're looking out for is danny and you know it . ray : yeah , i 'm looking out for danny and michelle and i 'm looking out for robbie . tony : well i 'm asking you to stay out of it . ray : what if michelle gets her memory back ? what if she remembers how much she loved danny ? did you consider that ? tony : what are you trying to say , ray ? that she 's going to leave me and go back to danny ? ray : how can you say she wo n't ? tony : because she loves me , ray . she loves me and if she tells me it 's over between her and danny , i 've got to believe her . you know what i mean ? ray : it 's not that simple , kid . tony : like you would know . like you would know . ray : i know ... i know human nature . tony : you do ? it does n't make you happy , huh ? does n't make you happy that i can actually make somebody happy ray ? that i can make michelle happy . a life for her and me , huh ? a life for her and me . a life for me , her and robbie ? a life of our own ? you see your little brother , the kid that was always messed up , the kid you abandoned ray . you understand that ? ray : you ... tony : i 'm always the one that needs saving , ray . but guess what ? you want to know something ? i make somebody happy for once , ray . i make michelle happy . i do . i 'm good enough for her , i 'm good enough for her kid . i am , ray ! ray : you want to be good for her ? huh ? you want to be good for robbie ? you want to play the hero ? do n't rush this divorce . tony : what is it , ray ? you do n't want me to rush it , huh ? you want know skip it entirely ? is that what you want me to do ? ray : michelle needs time . tony : she needs time . it 's not going to change anything , ray ! she loves me , man , this is the real deal , okay ? ray : if it 's the real deal , you should have n't a problem waiting ! tony : she 's not going to go back to danny , ray . she 's not going to go . do n't you get it ? she loves me , man . you 're trying to save something that ca n't be saved ! ray : do n't you get it ? tony : get , what ? huh ? ray : i 'm trying to save you ! tony : you 're trying to save .... ray : i 'm trying to save you , do n't you get it ? it 's you i 'm trying to save . michelle : i just thought i would pick up robbie and take him to see the crane at the lighthouse . danny : well , he 'd love that , but he 's at nursery school today , which he also loves . michelle : i know , she told me . i thought it might be fun . danny : sorry . michelle : it 's okay . danny : look , michelle , it 's important robbie sticks to his schedule . his life has been too chaotic lately , you know ? michelle : yeah , it 's been chaotic . so maybe if i set something up in advance , i could spend the day with him ? danny : of course . of course . i 'm not trying to make this difficult for you . it 's just that robbie has had enough upheaval in these last few months to last a lifetime . that 's not good for a kid . michelle : upheaval , right ? you mean because i left ? danny : you disappeared , michelle . i mean realized you were off starring in your very own action picture , but all robbie knows is that you were gone . michelle : and now i 'm back . danny : yeah , right . but ... look , you do n't understand how much he missed you . and how upset he was , how he cried every night asking when his mom 's going to come home and i did n't know what to say to him because i did n't know . michelle : obviously what you said worked . he could n't look me in the eye the other day . danny : hold on . i did n't say anything . he 's afraid , michelle . michelle : he 's afraid of his own mother , come on ? danny : no , he 's afraid you 're going to leave him again . frankly , to be perfectly honest with you , so am i . michelle : so what are you saying to me ? you want to keep robbie away from me ? harley : okay , bye . gus : okay , bye . thanks . gus and harley : found her . frank : i need to talk to you guys . gus : hey , frank . we ca n't we 've got people to see and places to go . frank : i was n't giving you a choice . harley : what is it ? frank : i 'm sorry , sis , i need to take you back in . gus : you ca n't take her , frank . she 's out on bail . frank : actually , she jumped bail , which is why i need to take her back to jail . gus : frank , i do n't know how to tell you this , but you 're not taking her anything . frank : you think i 'm enjoying this ? i do n't have a choice . so please do n't make this any harder than it is . gus : you should actually do your job , frank , around find the real killer . frank : step aside . gus : no , i 'm not stepping aside . frank : gus ... gus : let me ask you something , you have proof she skipped bail ? frank : she was seen at the blue haven spa , which happens to be across the state line . we have an eyewitness . harley : thanks , beth . frank : now that 's great , sis . so you admit you jumped bail ? gus : no , she does n't admit anything . can you just hold on a second . harley : just let it go , please , he knows . gus : no , i am you lawyer . i will do the talking . harley : he knows . gus : i will do the talking . marina : hey , what what 's going on out here ? gus : just the usual family fun . your father 's arresting your aunt . frank : you know , i 'm getting sick of you , man . marina : dad , why are you arresting aunt harley ? harley : because aunt harley jumped bail . marina : you did ? dad , you can't . frank : marina , go back inside . gus : what 's the matter , frank , you do n't want everybody to see what an idiot you are ? frank : i told you once ... harley : no , no , no . i 'll go . i 'll go . this is me going . listen , you have places to go people to see , right ? just do n't forget what i said , okay ? gus : yeah . frank : come on , sis . marina : wait . i 'm going with you . frank : no , you 're not . harley : no . marina : yes . frank : marina , there 's actually nothing you can do . marina : i 'll go and lend moral support . gus : let her go . she needs somebody from her family who can support her . frank : believe it or not , i do support my sister . harley : you know what ? go . gus : i 'll be back . i 'll get you out of this . harley : i 'll see you later . all right , frank , i 'm ready . ñ here , take this . marina : dad , do you have to this do this ? frank : unfortunately , i do have to do this . i 'm sorry , sis , you know that this is strictly business . harley : do n't worry abod he has to do this . frank : let 's go . danny : michelle .... marina : hey , danny , i 'll be right back . danny : okay . look , i have no desire to keep robbie away from you . michelle : really ? because that 's what it sounded like . danny : well , i don't . michelle : uh - huh . danny : he needs both of us but my number one responsibility is to him and to make sure that you do n't hurt him like that again . michelle : do you think that i would hurt my own child ? i love him . danny : i 'm not saying you don't . michelle : look , i just got back , all right ? i 'm trying to get settled , get my life back in order again , all right ? danny : yeah . and what does that mean ? and will you get settled ? is that even what you want ? michelle : i do n't even know what you 're saying . danny : i 'm asking you , michelle , what do you really want ? do you want a stable life here , or do you wanted a venture with tony , fun ? michelle : what 's wrong with fun ? is n't that good for a kid ? makes them happy . makes them feel loved . danny : i 'm not questioning your love ; i 'm questioning your judgment . michelle : ( scoffs ) my judgment . yeah , because of tony , you mean ? danny : you know what i mean . michelle : uh - huh . danny : you and i both know what tony does for a living and you are right there in the thick of it , are n't you ? i do n't know if it 's some kind of turn on for you , but i will not allow my kid to be any part of it . michelle : your kid ? danny : michelle , tony lives in a world they went through hell to get away from and ironically , that was for you . but it was also for robbie and i will be damned if i let you drag him back into it . michelle : you know what ? this is n't even about robbie ; this is about you punishing me for leaving . tony : i do n't need you to save me , ray . i do n't need you to save me . ray : you know , when pops died i promised to protect you , watch out for you . i did n't always do a good job , but i tried , tony . i tried my best just like i 'm trying now . tony : come on , ray , stop saying that to me ! if michelle was n't danny 's wife , man , you would n't be saying anything to me let alone give me the time of day , ray . ray : you could n't be more wrong . tony : oh , come on . danny ... danny 's always the perfect one , you know no ? poor little tony . the kid always needs to be saved . he 's always the messed up one . ray : do n't you think i 've given him the same speech . i 'm not trying to fix you , tony . i 'm not . i 'm trying to keep you from making a mistake . tony : michelle is not a mistake . ray : then take it slow . tony : take it slow . ray : make sure that she feels the same way for you . tony : she does , ray , she feels the same way for me ! ray : then time 's on your side tony ! look , man , you got your heart out there . i do n't want to see you get stepped on . tony : you do n't want to see me get stepped on . let me tell you something , okay ? the first time in my life i found somebody that showed me i had a heart , you know that ? before i pulled her out of that warehouse , man , i felt empty . i felt like i was a shell ; i had nothing inside me . i had no heart , ray . i got a heart now , you know ? and michelle does that for me . ray : i just want you to be happy . tony : if you want me to be happy , i 'm asking you please trust in me . back off and trust in me , your brother . ray : i do trust you , i do . it 's michelle i do n't trust . lizzie : oh , i hope i 'm not interrupting some big family discussion or anything . frank : okay , sis . so , what 's the story ? why did you leave town ? harley : is this on or off the record ? frank : which one will give me the right answer ? harley : both . frank : harley , you know . you know if there 's anything i can do ... harley : i know . frank : to help you right now , i 'd do it . harley : do n't say it . it 's just going to make me cry . frank : you were a cop , you know how this looks . harley : i know it makes me look guilty . maybe i 'm guilty or maybe i 'm not guilty , but i 'm here , are n't i ? i did n't run and i 'm not going to . frank : i do n't know what else to say . harley : well , then go lecture your daughter . frank : i do n't lecture . harley : oh , please . we all know this voice , frank . it gives you away every time . why did you do it , beth ? why did you turn me in ? alan : beth did n't turn you in , i did . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... harley : i wanted to strip him of everything . i wanted to punish phillip . because he was rotten . even more rotten than you , but alan ... alan : can you look me in the eye and tell me that you did n't murder phillip ? gus : i 'm asking you , what did you do ? lizzie : granddad was right about you . you will do anything to save harley . danny : michelle , listen to me . just listen to me . kids need security . they need stability . you 're the one who taught me that . i did n't have that growing up , michelle , but you taught me something different . how a family should support each other and how to make a home feel safe . michelle : and so you think i 'm a threat to that ? danny : not on purpose . look , i am not trying to punish you , but your life is different now . you and tony have other priorities . michelle : there 's nothing more important than my own child . danny : i really wish that i could believe that . look , i do n't want to fight . i really don't . but i will not back down from how i believe and how you used to believe your son should be raised . michelle : so where does that leave us ? danny : we have to do the best thing for our son . michelle : which is what ? danny : michelle , he needs to be kissed good night and know that that same person is going to be there when he wakes up in the morning . michelle : and that would be you , right ? danny : for now . michelle : uh - huh . michelle : i am not trying to cut you out of robbie 's life , but , yeah , i think that robbie should live with me full time . michelle : so i 'll just be the stranger that visits once a month ? danny : michelle , that would be entirely up to you . look , i ... if i had gone through what you have , having no memories and being thrown into a new life , i do n't know how i would feel . but you can not have it all . you ca n't be impulsive one minute and the rock of stability the next . you ca n't choose to be with a guy who goes looking for trouble and still protect your son . and this is not about payback ; it 's a reality check . michelle : uh - huh . you know , he 's my son , too , danny . danny : i know . i know . michelle : and i 'm only just starting to know and to remember what that actually means . danny : michelle , robbie 's not going anywhere . he will always be here . will you ? frank : hey . i thought i told you to wait for me in my office . marina : if you are going to bust my chops for defending aunt charlie . frank : bust your chops ? what are you a hardened criminal now ? marina : you tell me . frank : i 'm proud of you for defending harley . marina : what is it ? you 're giving me a lecture voice . frank : there is no lecture voice . marina : yes , it is ! what is it ? frank : marina , you are my daughter and i love you very , very much and it 's my job to keep an eye on you . now , i 'm worried about you . i 'm worried about you and danny santos . marina : dad ... frank : yeah , i know . you guys are just friends , right ? well , sometimes friends lead to something more , especially when someone is going through a divorce . marina : dad ... it 's all speculation . frank : really ? so they 're not having problems with their marriage ? marina : yes but it has nothing to do with me . frank : because $ you 're just friends . marina : danny and i have n't talked about the divorce . frank : can i give you some fatherly advice ? because i have some experience in it . i think you should pull back a little . marina : pull back from what ? frank : from being friends ? marina : how is that even possible ? frank : i do n't think you know all the emotions that are involved during a divorce . marina : well , i think i have a pretty good idea . frank : really ? how about from the adult perspective ? marina : does it hurt less ? do you not think about it as often ? frank : do you know the expression transition girlfriend ? marina : rebound girl ? frank : rebound girl . you can multiply that times ten . marina : dad , i am so not that . frank : not yet , honey . but you need to be careful . marina : danny would never do something like that to me , okay ? he just wouldn't . i mean more to him than just that , okay ? i 'm ... frank : just a friend . harley : so beth told you that i found her at the spa . alan : no . you were careless , as usual . harley : well , i was n't followed . alan : you called gus , though . harley : and you were with him . alan : it was quite predictable . harley : and you felt you had to do your civic duty , is that it ? alan : something like that . i could n't risk you running away again . harley : i did n't run . alan : well , technically you 're right . but you went out trying to pin phillip 's murder on someone -- beth . i mean , come on , harley . who 'll be next ? harley : i just want to find the truth . alan : the truth is you destroyed my son , whether you murdered him or not . harley : yes , okay ? i wanted to strip him of everything . i wanted to punish phillip because he was rotten -- even more rotten than you . but alan ... alan : can you look me in the eye and tell me that you did n't murder phillip ? harley : i can tell you this : if you do n't get out of my way and help me get out of here , you 'll never know the truth . alan : is that right ? harley : you do n't care about what really happened . this is you paying me back . alan : believe me , you will pay for what you have done . i will see to that . harley : only it has nothing to do with phillip 's murder . you 're angry about gus . because he chose me over you . lizzie : oh , hey , tony . do you think you can help me stretch out ? my back 's a little tight . ray : ask the priest . he 's pretty good at helping people . lizzie : did i interrupt something ? i 'm sorry . ray : actually we 're ... ray : hey , man , you want to grab a beer later ? tony : no , i 'll pass , ray . i 've had enough wisdom for one day . i ca n't take any more . ray : just think about what i said , all right ? tony : you know something ? you think about what i 'm telling you . michelle 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me , ray . you , nobody , no one 's going to ruin it . lizzie : oh , tony , i 'm glad you changed your mind . thank you so much . what are you doing here ? gus : i just came too find out why you lied to me , lizzie . alan : gus loves a lost cause , harley . i should know . i 'm his latest one . harley : and you 've always thought of me as a lost cause , have n't you , alan ? alan : i know a loser when i see one . unfortunately for gus , it will be too late when he comes to his senses . harley : too late for what ? alan : by then he will have lost everything : you , his family his fortune and his position at spaulding . harley : you still do n't see it . gus does n't care about your money . he does n't care about spaulding . and the only time he lost was when he chose you and your family over me . alan : that would depend on your perspective . harley : take off your blinders ! alan , you only see what you want to see and not just when it comes to gus . you did the same thing with phillip . alan : what did i do ? i only wanted the best for phillip . not someone who would tear him down and cause him to be less than he could be . harley : is this a contest to you ? alan : if it is , i will win . harley : except that my life is on the line here , alan , and so is your grandson 's . alan : your life is essentially over , harley . and my grandson will be well taken care of . harley : oh , really ? will he be happy ? do you think he 'll be happy losing daddy and then mommy ? is that something you can take care of , alan ? alan : yes , as a matter of fact . now , i think it 's time that you accepted your fate . harley : well , what do you think gus will do ? you think he 's just going to accept this and let up ? alan : gus is no longer my problem . harley : except that if i go down , he 'll take you and anyone else named spaulding down with me . is that what you want for your precious family ? alan : what 's your point ? harley : my point is gus wants to get me off no matter what the cost . and he does n't care who gets hurt in the process . alan : well , you both want the same thing , do n't you ? harley : oh , no , no , no . because i want the truth . i want to know how and why phillip died . alan : even if it leads back to me . harley : i 'm a good cop . i always get my man . even if she 's me . but gus , do n't forget what a ruthless driven man he was hen he first came to town . and now ? now his stakes are even higher . you have to get me out of here so i can work the case with him and keep him focused on the truth . alan : well , that 's an interesting argument . officer : time 's up , mr . spaulding . harley : well ? alan : i 'll think about it . harley : well , do n't think too long . it 's anyone 's guess what gus will do next . lizzie : , well , where did father ray go ? gus : probably doing confessions . you want to get in line ? lizzie : i do n't think anything to confess . gus : no ? nothing you want to get off your chest ? lizzie : nope . but , you know , i really need to go . gus : did n't you just get here ? lizzie : are you following me , gus ? gus : i do n't know , should i be ? lizzie : i do n't know . but you 've been acting really weird lately . gus : yeah ? and you 're messing with harley 's life . you lied to me about the night your father was killed . lizzie : i did not . gus : you said you went with your mother to the restaurant together . lizzie : okay so ? gus : so she said you were standing on the porch when she drove up . what did you , do lizzie ? i 'm asking you , what did you do ? lizzie : granddad was right about you , you will do anything to save harley . gus : harley did n't do anything . lizzie : oh , how do you know ? gus : i know what she 's capable of . and i know what you 're capable of , lizzie . lizzie : oh , real cute . real cute . carl was trying to hurt my mom , okay . he was a monster . gus : your father was turning into a monster . lizzie : yeah , but i love my dad . i would never hurt him . gus : no , you would never hurt anybody , lizzie , because you 're a little angel . except there was that sandy foster hit - and - run . lizzie : oh , that was an accident . gus : accident . how many accidents have you gotten away with , lizzie , just because your last name is spaulding ?

marina : he 's not here . michelle : i thought he was supposed to be with you today ? marina : he 's at nursery school , afternoon session . michelle : oh , that 's too bad . there 's a crane at the lighthouse . i really wanted him to see it . marina : he probably wo n't be out until about 4 : 30 . it 'll be dark by then . michelle : not if he plays hooky . i think i might go get him . danny : hold on . not so fast , michelle . father ray : church ca n't afford a new bag , tony . show some mercy , would you ? you know what ? on second thought , whale away . punch the bag instead of whoever it is you 're angry at . anybody i know ? tony : yeah , you , ray . lizzie : hey . alan : well , elizabeth ! here , darling . sit down . sit down . thank you so much for joining me . lizzie : well , you said it was important . alan : it is . it 's very important . i have some questions to ask you . i want you to tell me if your uncle gus and harley have been questioning you about the night that your father was shot ? lizzie : no , why ? alan : i just want to make certain . if they do , i want you to let me know , do you understand ? lizzie : yeah , but why would they do that ? alan : well , they 're very desperate right now . i mean , your uncle gus does n't care if harley is guilty or not . lizzie : but you think she is ? alan : i think he will do anything to make sure she is set free . lizzie : well , he does love her . alan : he loves her , but he 's not interested in justice for what happened to your father . he 's interested in trying to find someone who is guilty -- someone other than harley . lizzie : anyone ? alan : absolutely . i think that gus would throw your mother to the wolves and you as well . gus : lizzie lied . harley : okay , let 's not jump to conclusions here . maybe you just misunderstood . gus : i did n't misunderstand anything . she said she drove over here the night her father was killed the two of them . they were together the entire night . harley : are you sure ? gus : she said she could never forget it . harley : because beth told me lizzie was on the porch when she got here . gus : are you sure ? harley : i am sure , okay ? beth was not lying , she was happy to spill her guts . gus : lizzie 's lying . harley : no , okay , wait a second . where are you going ? gus : i 'm going to beat the truth out of her . harley : i put beth through hell ; i do n't want to do the same thing to lizzie . gus : she probably killed her father . she 's going to have to pay for it . harley : gus ! gus : harley ! give me my car keys . harley : no . gus : give them to me . harley : i do n't want you harassing lizzie . gus : why are you protecting her ? she 's tough as nails . harley : she 's a kid , look what she 's already been through . gus : look what you 've been through . she probably pulled the trigger . harley : i do n't think so . gus : she has killed before . come on . harley : she was protecting beth then . gus : what 's the difference ? harley : the difference is we 're talking about her father . she adored him . she loved him more than anything and he loved her , too . i ca n't even think about it . gus : well , it 's better than thinking about going to jail . harley : that 's a good point , but if she had done it we would know . she 'd be a basket case . gus : maybe she is a basket case . harley : can we just leave her alone ? gus : do n't you want the truth ? do n't you want ... harley : i do . i do . i really do . gus : you understand we have to question her . harley : i understand . can we just go easy on her ? gus : no problem , but we 'll question her . harley : we 'll question her , but i will question her and you can be there just to , you know , gauge her reactions . harley : like good cop ; bad cop ? harley : no , good cop ; silent cop , okay ? what 's that smile . gus : this is kind of like old times . lizzie : wait , so you mean gus is going to come after me ? alan : i think what your uncle gus is trying to do is create doubt , take the focus away from harley and put it on anyone else . and i think you are a very easy target for him . lizzie : why would he do that if wants the truth ? alan : he does want the truth , as long as it does n't point to harley . lizzie : so what if it does n't point to harley . what if you 're wrong ? what if ... i do n't see harley doing that . alan : elizabeth , i think it 's time that you understood what the coopers are really capable of . lizzie : i know they 're annoying , but i mean ... alan : they took your father away from us and now harley has taken gus . lizzie : why me ? why ... she knows i 'm not psycho . alan : of course you 're not , darling . of course you 're not . now , you trust me , do n't you ? lizzie : of course i trust you . it 's just , harley and i , we had such a great relationship , you know . alan : i know that . i know that . but people change . gus and i used to be very close until just recently . people make bad decisions . lizzie : i know , but ... i mean gus was a cop and so was harley . that 's what they do . they do the right thing . alan : yes , but not this time . and if they have their way , no one will pay for what happened to your father . now , is that what you want ? lizzie : i want the killer to pay . alan : of course you do . harley . listen to me . harley and gus are the enemy of our family and they have to be punished . lizzie : are you going to punish them ? alan : i have no other alternative . but you 've got to promise me something : you will stay away from them . you will not communicate with them on any level . it will make me very unhappy . do you promise me that ? lizzie : yeah . alan : you know , i 'm doing this for your father . lizzie : i know . it 's what daddy would want . alan : you bet that 's what he would want . now , you run on to the gym , okay ? lizzie : bye . alan : bye , sweetheart . ray : you want a piece of me , tony ? come on . do n't let the collar stop you . come on , bring it on . tony : ray , it 's not a good idea . back off . ray : you 're in my church , little brother , or is that just a coincidence ? michelle tell you what we talked about ? tony : she told me . ray : you ca n't see where i 'm coming from ? tony : why do n't you tell me as a man . ray : i do n't want to see you get hurt . tony : all you 're looking out for is danny and you know it . ray : yeah , i 'm looking out for danny and michelle and i 'm looking out for robbie . tony : well i 'm asking you to stay out of it . ray : what if michelle gets her memory back ? what if she remembers how much she loved danny ? did you consider that ? tony : what are you trying to say , ray ? that she 's going to leave me and go back to danny ? ray : how can you say she wo n't ? tony : because she loves me , ray . she loves me and if she tells me it 's over between her and danny , i 've got to believe her . you know what i mean ? ray : it 's not that simple , kid . tony : like you would know . like you would know . ray : i know ... i know human nature . tony : you do ? it does n't make you happy , huh ? does n't make you happy that i can actually make somebody happy ray ? that i can make michelle happy . a life for her and me , huh ? a life for her and me . a life for me , her and robbie ? a life of our own ? you see your little brother , the kid that was always messed up , the kid you abandoned ray . you understand that ? ray : you ... tony : i 'm always the one that needs saving , ray . but guess what ? you want to know something ? i make somebody happy for once , ray . i make michelle happy . i do . i 'm good enough for her , i 'm good enough for her kid . i am , ray ! ray : you want to be good for her ? huh ? you want to be good for robbie ? you want to play the hero ? do n't rush this divorce . tony : what is it , ray ? you do n't want me to rush it , huh ? you want know skip it entirely ? is that what you want me to do ? ray : michelle needs time . tony : she needs time . it 's not going to change anything , ray ! she loves me , man , this is the real deal , okay ? ray : if it 's the real deal , you should have n't a problem waiting ! tony : she 's not going to go back to danny , ray . she 's not going to go . do n't you get it ? she loves me , man . you 're trying to save something that ca n't be saved ! ray : do n't you get it ? tony : get , what ? huh ? ray : i 'm trying to save you ! tony : you 're trying to save .... ray : i 'm trying to save you , do n't you get it ? it 's you i 'm trying to save . michelle : i just thought i would pick up robbie and take him to see the crane at the lighthouse . danny : well , he 'd love that , but he 's at nursery school today , which he also loves . michelle : i know , she told me . i thought it might be fun . danny : sorry . michelle : it 's okay . danny : look , michelle , it 's important robbie sticks to his schedule . his life has been too chaotic lately , you know ? michelle : yeah , it 's been chaotic . so maybe if i set something up in advance , i could spend the day with him ? danny : of course . of course . i 'm not trying to make this difficult for you . it 's just that robbie has had enough upheaval in these last few months to last a lifetime . that 's not good for a kid . michelle : upheaval , right ? you mean because i left ? danny : you disappeared , michelle . i mean realized you were off starring in your very own action picture , but all robbie knows is that you were gone . michelle : and now i 'm back . danny : yeah , right . but ... look , you do n't understand how much he missed you . and how upset he was , how he cried every night asking when his mom 's going to come home and i did n't know what to say to him because i did n't know . michelle : obviously what you said worked . he could n't look me in the eye the other day . danny : hold on . i did n't say anything . he 's afraid , michelle . michelle : he 's afraid of his own mother , come on ? danny : no , he 's afraid you 're going to leave him again . frankly , to be perfectly honest with you , so am i . michelle : so what are you saying to me ? you want to keep robbie away from me ? harley : okay , bye . gus : okay , bye . thanks . gus and harley : found her . frank : i need to talk to you guys . gus : hey , frank . we ca n't we 've got people to see and places to go . frank : i was n't giving you a choice . harley : what is it ? frank : i 'm sorry , sis , i need to take you back in . gus : you ca n't take her , frank . she 's out on bail . frank : actually , she jumped bail , which is why i need to take her back to jail . gus : frank , i do n't know how to tell you this , but you 're not taking her anything . frank : you think i 'm enjoying this ? i do n't have a choice . so please do n't make this any harder than it is . gus : you should actually do your job , frank , around find the real killer . frank : step aside . gus : no , i 'm not stepping aside . frank : gus ... gus : let me ask you something , you have proof she skipped bail ? frank : she was seen at the blue haven spa , which happens to be across the state line . we have an eyewitness . harley : thanks , beth . frank : now that 's great , sis . so you admit you jumped bail ? gus : no , she does n't admit anything . can you just hold on a second . harley : just let it go , please , he knows . gus : no , i am you lawyer . i will do the talking . harley : he knows . gus : i will do the talking . marina : hey , what what 's going on out here ? gus : just the usual family fun . your father 's arresting your aunt . frank : you know , i 'm getting sick of you , man . marina : dad , why are you arresting aunt harley ? harley : because aunt harley jumped bail . marina : you did ? dad , you can't . frank : marina , go back inside . gus : what 's the matter , frank , you do n't want everybody to see what an idiot you are ? frank : i told you once ... harley : no , no , no . i 'll go . i 'll go . this is me going . listen , you have places to go people to see , right ? just do n't forget what i said , okay ? gus : yeah . frank : come on , sis . marina : wait . i 'm going with you . frank : no , you 're not . harley : no . marina : yes . frank : marina , there 's actually nothing you can do . marina : i 'll go and lend moral support . gus : let her go . she needs somebody from her family who can support her . frank : believe it or not , i do support my sister . harley : you know what ? go . gus : i 'll be back . i 'll get you out of this . harley : i 'll see you later . all right , frank , i 'm ready . ñ here , take this . marina : dad , do you have to this do this ? frank : unfortunately , i do have to do this . i 'm sorry , sis , you know that this is strictly business . harley : do n't worry abod he has to do this . frank : let 's go . danny : michelle .... marina : hey , danny , i 'll be right back . danny : okay . look , i have no desire to keep robbie away from you . michelle : really ? because that 's what it sounded like . danny : well , i don't . michelle : uh - huh . danny : he needs both of us but my number one responsibility is to him and to make sure that you do n't hurt him like that again . michelle : do you think that i would hurt my own child ? i love him . danny : i 'm not saying you don't . michelle : look , i just got back , all right ? i 'm trying to get settled , get my life back in order again , all right ? danny : yeah . and what does that mean ? and will you get settled ? is that even what you want ? michelle : i do n't even know what you 're saying . danny : i 'm asking you , michelle , what do you really want ? do you want a stable life here , or do you wanted a venture with tony , fun ? michelle : what 's wrong with fun ? is n't that good for a kid ? makes them happy . makes them feel loved . danny : i 'm not questioning your love ; i 'm questioning your judgment . michelle : ( scoffs ) my judgment . yeah , because of tony , you mean ? danny : you know what i mean . michelle : uh - huh . danny : you and i both know what tony does for a living and you are right there in the thick of it , are n't you ? i do n't know if it 's some kind of turn on for you , but i will not allow my kid to be any part of it . michelle : your kid ? danny : michelle , tony lives in a world they went through hell to get away from and ironically , that was for you . but it was also for robbie and i will be damned if i let you drag him back into it . michelle : you know what ? this is n't even about robbie ; this is about you punishing me for leaving . tony : i do n't need you to save me , ray . i do n't need you to save me . ray : you know , when pops died i promised to protect you , watch out for you . i did n't always do a good job , but i tried , tony . i tried my best just like i 'm trying now . tony : come on , ray , stop saying that to me ! if michelle was n't danny 's wife , man , you would n't be saying anything to me let alone give me the time of day , ray . ray : you could n't be more wrong . tony : oh , come on . danny ... danny 's always the perfect one , you know no ? poor little tony . the kid always needs to be saved . he 's always the messed up one . ray : do n't you think i 've given him the same speech . i 'm not trying to fix you , tony . i 'm not . i 'm trying to keep you from making a mistake . tony : michelle is not a mistake . ray : then take it slow . tony : take it slow . ray : make sure that she feels the same way for you . tony : she does , ray , she feels the same way for me ! ray : then time 's on your side tony ! look , man , you got your heart out there . i do n't want to see you get stepped on . tony : you do n't want to see me get stepped on . let me tell you something , okay ? the first time in my life i found somebody that showed me i had a heart , you know that ? before i pulled her out of that warehouse , man , i felt empty . i felt like i was a shell ; i had nothing inside me . i had no heart , ray . i got a heart now , you know ? and michelle does that for me . ray : i just want you to be happy . tony : if you want me to be happy , i 'm asking you please trust in me . back off and trust in me , your brother . ray : i do trust you , i do . it 's michelle i do n't trust . lizzie : oh , i hope i 'm not interrupting some big family discussion or anything . frank : okay , sis . so , what 's the story ? why did you leave town ? harley : is this on or off the record ? frank : which one will give me the right answer ? harley : both . frank : harley , you know . you know if there 's anything i can do ... harley : i know . frank : to help you right now , i 'd do it . harley : do n't say it . it 's just going to make me cry . frank : you were a cop , you know how this looks . harley : i know it makes me look guilty . maybe i 'm guilty or maybe i 'm not guilty , but i 'm here , are n't i ? i did n't run and i 'm not going to . frank : i do n't know what else to say . harley : well , then go lecture your daughter . frank : i do n't lecture . harley : oh , please . we all know this voice , frank . it gives you away every time . why did you do it , beth ? why did you turn me in ? alan : beth did n't turn you in , i did . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... harley : i wanted to strip him of everything . i wanted to punish phillip . because he was rotten . even more rotten than you , but alan ... alan : can you look me in the eye and tell me that you did n't murder phillip ? gus : i 'm asking you , what did you do ? lizzie : granddad was right about you . you will do anything to save harley . danny : michelle , listen to me . just listen to me . kids need security . they need stability . you 're the one who taught me that . i did n't have that growing up , michelle , but you taught me something different . how a family should support each other and how to make a home feel safe . michelle : and so you think i 'm a threat to that ? danny : not on purpose . look , i am not trying to punish you , but your life is different now . you and tony have other priorities . michelle : there 's nothing more important than my own child . danny : i really wish that i could believe that . look , i do n't want to fight . i really don't . but i will not back down from how i believe and how you used to believe your son should be raised . michelle : so where does that leave us ? danny : we have to do the best thing for our son . michelle : which is what ? danny : michelle , he needs to be kissed good night and know that that same person is going to be there when he wakes up in the morning . michelle : and that would be you , right ? danny : for now . michelle : uh - huh . michelle : i am not trying to cut you out of robbie 's life , but , yeah , i think that robbie should live with me full time . michelle : so i 'll just be the stranger that visits once a month ? danny : michelle , that would be entirely up to you . look , i ... if i had gone through what you have , having no memories and being thrown into a new life , i do n't know how i would feel . but you can not have it all . you ca n't be impulsive one minute and the rock of stability the next . you ca n't choose to be with a guy who goes looking for trouble and still protect your son . and this is not about payback ; it 's a reality check . michelle : uh - huh . you know , he 's my son , too , danny . danny : i know . i know . michelle : and i 'm only just starting to know and to remember what that actually means . danny : michelle , robbie 's not going anywhere . he will always be here . will you ? frank : hey . i thought i told you to wait for me in my office . marina : if you are going to bust my chops for defending aunt charlie . frank : bust your chops ? what are you a hardened criminal now ? marina : you tell me . frank : i 'm proud of you for defending harley . marina : what is it ? you 're giving me a lecture voice . frank : there is no lecture voice . marina : yes , it is ! what is it ? frank : marina , you are my daughter and i love you very , very much and it 's my job to keep an eye on you . now , i 'm worried about you . i 'm worried about you and danny santos . marina : dad ... frank : yeah , i know . you guys are just friends , right ? well , sometimes friends lead to something more , especially when someone is going through a divorce . marina : dad ... it 's all speculation . frank : really ? so they 're not having problems with their marriage ? marina : yes but it has nothing to do with me . frank : because $ you 're just friends . marina : danny and i have n't talked about the divorce . frank : can i give you some fatherly advice ? because i have some experience in it . i think you should pull back a little . marina : pull back from what ? frank : from being friends ? marina : how is that even possible ? frank : i do n't think you know all the emotions that are involved during a divorce . marina : well , i think i have a pretty good idea . frank : really ? how about from the adult perspective ? marina : does it hurt less ? do you not think about it as often ? frank : do you know the expression transition girlfriend ? marina : rebound girl ? frank : rebound girl . you can multiply that times ten . marina : dad , i am so not that . frank : not yet , honey . but you need to be careful . marina : danny would never do something like that to me , okay ? he just wouldn't . i mean more to him than just that , okay ? i 'm ... frank : just a friend . harley : so beth told you that i found her at the spa . alan : no . you were careless , as usual . harley : well , i was n't followed . alan : you called gus , though . harley : and you were with him . alan : it was quite predictable . harley : and you felt you had to do your civic duty , is that it ? alan : something like that . i could n't risk you running away again . harley : i did n't run . alan : well , technically you 're right . but you went out trying to pin phillip 's murder on someone -- beth . i mean , come on , harley . who 'll be next ? harley : i just want to find the truth . alan : the truth is you destroyed my son , whether you murdered him or not . harley : yes , okay ? i wanted to strip him of everything . i wanted to punish phillip because he was rotten -- even more rotten than you . but alan ... alan : can you look me in the eye and tell me that you did n't murder phillip ? harley : i can tell you this : if you do n't get out of my way and help me get out of here , you 'll never know the truth . alan : is that right ? harley : you do n't care about what really happened . this is you paying me back . alan : believe me , you will pay for what you have done . i will see to that . harley : only it has nothing to do with phillip 's murder . you 're angry about gus . because he chose me over you . lizzie : oh , hey , tony . do you think you can help me stretch out ? my back 's a little tight . ray : ask the priest . he 's pretty good at helping people . lizzie : did i interrupt something ? i 'm sorry . ray : actually we 're ... ray : hey , man , you want to grab a beer later ? tony : no , i 'll pass , ray . i 've had enough wisdom for one day . i ca n't take any more . ray : just think about what i said , all right ? tony : you know something ? you think about what i 'm telling you . michelle 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me , ray . you , nobody , no one 's going to ruin it . lizzie : oh , tony , i 'm glad you changed your mind . thank you so much . what are you doing here ? gus : i just came too find out why you lied to me , lizzie . alan : gus loves a lost cause , harley . i should know . i 'm his latest one . harley : and you 've always thought of me as a lost cause , have n't you , alan ? alan : i know a loser when i see one . unfortunately for gus , it will be too late when he comes to his senses . harley : too late for what ? alan : by then he will have lost everything : you , his family his fortune and his position at spaulding . harley : you still do n't see it . gus does n't care about your money . he does n't care about spaulding . and the only time he lost was when he chose you and your family over me . alan : that would depend on your perspective . harley : take off your blinders ! alan , you only see what you want to see and not just when it comes to gus . you did the same thing with phillip . alan : what did i do ? i only wanted the best for phillip . not someone who would tear him down and cause him to be less than he could be . harley : is this a contest to you ? alan : if it is , i will win . harley : except that my life is on the line here , alan , and so is your grandson 's . alan : your life is essentially over , harley . and my grandson will be well taken care of . harley : oh , really ? will he be happy ? do you think he 'll be happy losing daddy and then mommy ? is that something you can take care of , alan ? alan : yes , as a matter of fact . now , i think it 's time that you accepted your fate . harley : well , what do you think gus will do ? you think he 's just going to accept this and let up ? alan : gus is no longer my problem . harley : except that if i go down , he 'll take you and anyone else named spaulding down with me . is that what you want for your precious family ? alan : what 's your point ? harley : my point is gus wants to get me off no matter what the cost . and he does n't care who gets hurt in the process . alan : well , you both want the same thing , do n't you ? harley : oh , no , no , no . because i want the truth . i want to know how and why phillip died . alan : even if it leads back to me . harley : i 'm a good cop . i always get my man . even if she 's me . but gus , do n't forget what a ruthless driven man he was hen he first came to town . and now ?

alan : i 'll think about it . harley : well , do n't think too long . it 's anyone 's guess what gus will do next . lizzie : , well , where did father ray go ? gus : probably doing confessions . you want to get in line ? lizzie : i do n't think anything to confess . gus : no ? nothing you want to get off your chest ? lizzie : nope . but , you know , i really need to go . gus : did n't you just get here ? lizzie : are you following me , gus ? gus : i do n't know , should i be ? lizzie : i do n't know . but you 've been acting really weird lately . gus : yeah ? and you 're messing with harley 's life . you lied to me about the night your father was killed . lizzie : i did not . gus : you said you went with your mother to the restaurant together . lizzie : okay so ? gus : so she said you were standing on the porch when she drove up . what did you , do lizzie ? i 'm asking you , what did you do ? lizzie : granddad was right about you , you will do anything to save harley . gus : harley did n't do anything . lizzie : oh , how do you know ? gus : i know what she 's capable of . and i know what you 're capable of , lizzie . lizzie : oh , real cute . real cute . carl was trying to hurt my mom , okay . he was a monster . gus : your father was turning into a monster . lizzie : yeah , but i love my dad . i would never hurt him . gus : no , you would never hurt anybody , lizzie , because you 're a little angel . except there was that sandy foster hit - and - run . lizzie : oh , that was an accident . gus : accident . how many accidents have you gotten away with , lizzie , just because your last name is spaulding ? lizzie : let go of me . gus : i 'm not going to let you get away with this , do you hear me ? lizzie : get away with what ? i 'm not crazy . gus : you know harley defended you . she did n't want to see you get involved , but you do n't care about her , do you , and you 're still lying . let me tell you something , lizzie spaulding . i do n't care about you so tell me what you did ! tell me what you know ! ray : gus ?

awkward . they are sisters and they love each other so no matter how much they have hurt each other in the past they will always love each other . and she can talk to her about anything . katie says she just wants to do the right thing and give ridge what he needs but she is not sure what that is . he needs to be creative . does brooke think that is why they are n't married yet , that he feels less than a man . maya has her hand on rick 's shoulder . he calls attention to it and says it needs to be somewhere else .like not as on this person . she asks if he heard what she just said . he says yes , that she still loves him . she asks if that is uncomfortable for him . he says only because she ca n't seem to change the subject . she says unlike caroline she thinks honesty is the best policy . and she also believes that somewhere he feels the same way too . he says this can go one of two ways . he can get mad and fire her .or . she asks why when she does her job well . he laments that she is difficult and pushy and wo n't listen to him . she says that worked for caroline . he says or he could thank her for having feelings for him but nothing is ever going to come of it . he likes being married . he 's never been happier . she continues that she has seen him happier . she made him happier . he shakes his head and says there was something just not quite right about them being together . maybe it was too needy or dependent . maya confesses that she felt it too but it had nothing to do with the way they felt about each other . it was like the odds were stacked against them and they had a right to be afraid of that . they have been through the worst so there is nothing to be afraid of anymore . she says she does not believe he is going to fire her . he says difficult people do not last long here . she scoffs , difficult people call the shots here . and she is hardly his biggest problem , ridge is . and as much as she is aggravating him right now it is not half as bad as what caroline pulled on her . caroline asks ridge why his hand is shaking . he says nervous habit , it 's all right . she says it 's only her here now . rick is not here . he is going to have to tell him something eventually . he asks her if she wants to learn . she is not sure she is bright enough or talented enough . he tells her to stop . she is all those things and more . they make a good team . she says that is just it . she thought he was helping her , not that she was helping him too . she says he should have told her . she would be honored to work with him and know that he trusted her . he says trust is a funny word . what if he does n't trust her that she and rick are not going to finish what her uncle bill started . she 's stunned when he says her uncle wanted him dead . he grabs the pen and tablet but ca n't do anything . he breaks the pencil into . he tells her his hand wo n't do what his mind wants it to . she slowly takes her hand and puts it on his and says with practice perhaps hers can . rick tells maya that she is cute when she is being coy . but too bad she is hardly ever coy anymore , just aggressive . she says yeah men get promoted for being aggressive but women get fired . she says she knows he remembers them too . he says yes , he did n't say he did n't , just that he was married . she says they know something that most people are too afraid to admit . he asks her to remind him . she says marriage is not forever . he and caroline married too fast . sure she is behaving now but the lies and secrets are gon na start up again any day

[ scene_break ] rick : you 're cute when you 're being coy . maya : thank you . rick : too bad you 're almost never coy anymore . maya : what am i , then ? rick : aggressive . maya : why is it that men get promoted for being aggressive and women get fired ? rick : you have your two reasons to protect you . maya : three . rick : which is ? maya : you remember us , too . rick : i never said that i did n't . i just said i was married . maya : but you and i know something about that that most people are too afraid to admit . rick : why do n't you remind me what that is ? maya : that marriage is n't forever . you and caroline got married too fast . you know it , and i know it . sure ... she 's behaving now . but the secrets and the lies are gon na start up again any day now . rick : yeah , you 're right about one thing -- i 'm not gon na fire you . but if there 's any more surprises like the steam room or being blatantly rude to caroline , that 's exactly what 's gon na happen . maya : but its okay for her to mangle my name any way she likes ? of course it is ... because she has trained you to expect that little from her . [ scene_break ] ridge : i had no way of knowing that the helicopter i ordered never showed up , and then i got on to bill 's by mistake . none of that came together until my memory came back . all of it -- the spencer logo on the jacket and bill 's most trusted employee was wearing it and that bill was giving the order to drop me out of the helicopter . a fisherman and his family picked me up , took care of me , and i do n't know why they did n't report it . maybe they thought there was a reward . maybe they were scared . i do n't know . but one day , i just wandered off , could n't find my way back , and that 's when brooke found me on the beach . and with brooke , katie , my family , coming back here ... it brought everything back . all my memories -- everything came back ... except this , so ... [ sighs ] what a day that was , huh ? now ... not a lot of people know about that , and i would like to keep it that way , okay ? caroline : what does your doctor say ? ridge : words . words , words , words . neuroskeletal and , uh ... neuro - something . a lot of `` neuro `` stuff going on there . caroline : meaning ? ridge : meaning she does n't know why i lost what i lost or if i 'll ever get it back . caroline : what do you think ? ridge : i think i have a chance . and i think that chance is with you . [ scene_break ] brooke : have you asked ridge if he changed his mind ? katie : he has n't changed his mind . brooke : i 'm sorry . i thought you were asking . katie : no , i -- we still talk about the future , you know ? we still talk about the places we want to travel and how we 're gon na parent the boys and the things we want to do before they 're consumed with school . but all the talk never manifests itself into any kind of plan with dates and to - do lists . it 's just this vague `` someday . `` and i do n't want to add to his stress , and i - i feel like if i say anything , then he 's gon na think i 'm questioning his commitment to me , and so i just say nothing . brooke : maybe he 's just waiting to be the man that he was when he asked you to marry him . katie : he is ! i did n't fall in love with sketches and designs . and what if his ability is gone for good ? i mean , his doctors are hopeful , but , clearly , they have no clue . it would be fine with me if he never worked again . brooke : i do n't think that 's a future that ridge can contemplate . katie : i know . i just want to be who he needs me to be . but i do n't know who that is . [ scene_break ] ridge : there . you see that ? it 's a little softer , more gradual . simple . now , that 's couture . you got it now , right ? caroline : mm - hmm . ridge : i think we have another design for rick . caroline : you still have it , you know -- all of it ... the sense of lightness and volume and that tricky simplicity that you do so well . ridge : yeah . well , i have all of it -- everything except the ability to put it down on paper . work with me . caroline : [ chuckles ] it 's been a fantasy of mine since i came to forrester to hear you say that . but ... ridge : you want credit . of course . caroline : no . no , no , no , no , no . there is no question in my mind that this design is yours , and i am happy to contribute anonymously what little i can . people will eventually find out . ridge : well , they ca n't find out . caroline : ridge , how is that realistic ? ridge : we 'll just keep doing what we 're doing . caroline : i have to at least tell rick . ridge : no . no , you ca n't do that , 'cause if he finds out that i 'm -- i 'm , uh , impaired -- is that the right word ? caroline : we 're newlyweds . i mean , what kind of married life am i leading when i ca n't tell my husband what i 'm doing all day ? ridge : listen to me . i know rick does n't want to hurt me , but if he sees a weakness in me , he 's gon na strike . that 's part of his nature . our relationship 's very complicated . and you need to think about something . this would be good for him , too . if we can pull this off , if we can have a whole line and the public loves him , well , that 'll be his success , too . caroline : all right . i 'll work with you , and i wo n't tell rick -- unless i have to . but that is the best i can do . ridge : i know i 'm not easy . i know that -- not easy on wives and employees , kids . i ask a lot . i ask too much , maybe . caroline : i can handle it . i could learn so much from you . ridge : i 'll give you everything i have . and it 'll be our secret . caroline : our secret .Summarize.[/INST]caroline puts her hand on ridge 's and says she is sorry . he takes it away and says they came here to work . there is nothing to be sorry about . she tells him people love him and they will understand . he says there is nothing to understand . caroline asks then what do they do now . ridge says to make the corrections he asked her to make . she says she tried but she still did n't get it . he tells her try again . brooke meets katie for lunch and says this was a surprise . katie says she came in with ridge and thought they could have lunch like they used to . it 's a little weird and awkward until they get their small talk out of the way . katie is the first to say that things are n't that good . this whole thing with ridge has been stressful and hard . she 's like to talk to her best friend but ends up hanging up because her best friend is brooke . she says she misses her sister , she misses her best friend so today she did not hang up . brooke brightens up and says she misses katie too . katie says she is tired of being angry . she does n't have that kind of energy anymore . brooke says it does not have to be awkward . they are sisters and they love each other so no matter how much they have hurt each other in the past they will always love each other . and she can talk to her about anything . katie says she just wants to do the right thing and give ridge what he needs but she is not sure what that is . he needs to be creative . does brooke think that is why they are n't married yet , that he feels less than a man . maya has her hand on rick 's shoulder . he calls attention to it and says it needs to be somewhere else .like not as on this person . she asks if he heard what she just said . he says yes , that she still loves him . she asks if that is uncomfortable for him . he says only because she ca n't seem to change the subject . she says unlike caroline she thinks honesty is the best policy . and she also believes that somewhere he feels the same way too . he says this can go one of two ways . he can get mad and fire her .or . she asks why when she does her job well . he laments that she is difficult and pushy and wo n't listen to him . she says that worked for caroline . he says or he could thank her for having feelings for him but nothing is ever going to come of it . he likes being married . he 's never been happier . she continues that she has seen him happier . she made him happier . he shakes his head and says there was something just not quite right about them being together . maybe it was too needy or dependent . maya confesses that she felt it too but it had nothing to do with the way they felt about each other . it was like the odds were stacked against them and they had a right to be afraid of that . they have been through the worst so there is nothing to be afraid of anymore . she says she does not believe he is going to fire her . he says difficult people do not last long here . she scoffs , difficult people call the shots here . and she is hardly his biggest problem , ridge is . and as much as she is aggravating him right now it is not half as bad as what caroline pulled on her . caroline asks ridge why his hand is shaking . he says nervous habit , it 's all right . she says it 's only her here now . rick is not here . he is going to have to tell him something eventually . he asks her if she wants to learn . she is not sure she is bright enough or talented enough . he tells her to stop . she is all those things and more . they make a good team . she says that is just it . she thought he was helping her , not that she was helping him too . she says he should have told her . she would be honored to work with him and know that he trusted her . he says trust is a funny word . what if he does n't trust her that she and rick are not going to finish what her uncle bill started . she 's stunned when he says her uncle wanted him dead . he grabs the pen and tablet but ca n't do anything . he breaks the pencil into . he tells her his hand wo n't do what his mind wants it to . she slowly takes her hand and puts it on his and says with practice perhaps hers can . rick tells maya that she is cute when she is being coy . but too bad she is hardly ever coy anymore , just aggressive . she says yeah men get promoted for being aggressive but women get fired . she says she knows he remembers them too . he says yes , he did n't say he did n't , just that he was married . she says they know something that most people are too afraid to admit . he asks her to remind him . she says marriage is not forever . he and caroline married too fast . sure she is behaving now but the lies and secrets are gon na start up again any day now . rick says she is right about one thing . he is not going to fire her . but if there are any more surprises like the steam room or being rude to caroline , that is exactly what he will do .</s> |

[ scene_break ] maxie : you bellowed ? connie : i do n't see a copy of the layout in my in - box . do n't tell me you have n't finished checking the copy of the mother - daughter issue . maxie : the thing you gave me an hour ago ? connie : yes . you should have gotten it to me in 20 minutes . what 's -- what 's happening with you ? you used to be so efficient . is it the pregnancy hormones ? and when is that baby due , anyway ? i hope it 's tomorrow . maxie : actually -- connie : and what is the meaning of this ? maxie : a banana ? connie : no , it 's not a banana . it used to be a banana . and you should go back to the deli and get me another one -- hopefully one that was n't picked during your first trimester . maxie : you 're in a mood . connie : i 'm always in a mood . maxie : yeah , but this tops your high standards . connie : well , you 'd be in a bad mood , too , maxie , if another woman was moving in on the love of your life . [ scene_break ] spinelli : you were mumbling something about maxie 's baby in your sleep . ellie : i was ? spinelli : yeah . ellie : did -- did i say anything specific ? spinelli : that was the only thing that was intelligible . but if i had to hazard a guess , i 'd say you had a guilty conscience about something . ellie : what ? spinelli : well , i mean , it stands to reason , does it not ? you know as well as i do that maxie miscarried the first implanted embryo , got implanted with another , but withheld that information from dante and lulu . ellie : right , yeah you 're right . um , keeping such a significant secret does bother me , apparently enough to verbalize it in my rem sleep . spinelli : one of the many reasons i love you . ellie : my constant need to chatter , even during a dream state ? spinelli : no . your troubled conscience . it speaks to your honesty ... and decency . ellie : hmm . spinelli : you 're a genuinely good person , ellie trout . [ scene_break ] lulu : what is that ? dante : i was gon na wait to give this to you , but i think you could use it . lulu : is this a present for me ? dante : not exactly , but you can open it . lulu : [ gasps ] you bought this ? dante : i could n't help it . i went in there . i was n't gon na do anything . but i was powerless . lulu : you are so in love with her already . dante : it 's hard not to be , if she 's anything like her mother . you are going to have to share her with me . you know that , right ? dante : yeah , i 'll think about it . lulu : you 're gon na be so overprotective . oh ! i feel so sorry for her boyfriends . dante : whoa . what boyfriends ? lulu : oh , let me just picture this . okay , wait . boy shows up at the door to pick her up , take her on a date . father answers the door , and he 's a cop ! oh ! i actually feel sorry for her . oh , my god . dante , we have a problem . [ scene_break ] morgan : is -- is there a problem ? i mean [ exhales , sniffs ] do i need to , like , brush my teeth or something ? kiki : no . no . i - i just promised mikey that i would go to the hospital to see if i 'm a marrow donor for my little cousin that i have n't even met . morgan : right . just let me get dressed , and i 'll come with you . kiki : i thought you were supposed to look for a job today . morgan : yeah , and that can wait , because you might need someone to hold your hand . kiki : well , mikey said that it is n't invasive . morgan : still , do n't you want the moral support ? kiki : [ scoffs ] nice try . you need to start making money to pay back your dad and your brother . and the sooner you start , the better , right ? morgan : fine , fine , fine . as long as we can pick up right where we left off . kiki : well , you know me , captain . i do n't keep promises . i 'm gon na go change . [ scene_break ] sam : so kiki jerome is franco 's daughter , lauren . michael : yeah , i thought you knew . she 's my first cousin . alexis is the one who actually wanted me to talk to kiki about getting tested . she probably did n't want you to know 'cause of the whole connection with franco . sam : yes , i know . i completely understand why my mom did n't say anything . but the more potential donors , the better . michael : kiki already agreed to be tested . she 's actually coming by today . so , uh , i should probably do it now so i can get out of here before she comes back . sam : why , if you 're the one who asked her to do it ? michael : uh , kiki and i do n't exactly , uh , get along . so , yeah , i 'm gon na go get started . sam : wait . thank you . thanks again . i appreciate it . michael : yeah . hi . i 'm here to be tested . brad : ah . my next victim .

[ scene_break ] olivia : i do n't think we need to overanalyze what happened . i think there 's a really simple explanation for what happened . sonny : there is ? what ? olivia : well , i think we just got -- got caught up in the moment . you know , that kiss was just a -- it was just a period at the end of a long strain of very pretty memories . sonny : but it 's more than that . you and i , we 've been getting closer for a while now . olivia : we both said that there 's nothing going on between us . sonny : well , whatever 's going on here , it 's not -- it is n't nothing . it 's something . olivia : so what is it ? sonny : i do n't know . but it felt right to me . olivia : it felt right to me , too . what about connie ? [ scene_break ] connie : the woman i 'm talking about is my cousin , not to mention my best friend . maxie : olivia is the man - stealing hussy ? she 's moving in on sonny ? connie : no , i do n't know that for sure , but it 's possible . maxie : that 's terrible . how could she do that to you ? connie : well , in all fairness , i should n't be upset . maxie : why not ? connie : because it 's my own fault . [ scene_break ] sam : what are you doing ? silas : at the moment , getting off the elevator . sam : no , i mean dressed like a doctor . silas : uh , i am a doctor . sam : yeah , i know . but you do n't work here . silas : i do now . sam : excuse me . what do you mean you work here ? silas : what i mean is the chief of staff , dr. monica quartermaine , offered me a job , and i accepted . sam : oh . how did this come about ? silas : well , i ran into her , and she asked for my thoughts on the oncology department here at general hospital . sam : what , you just happened to run into the chief of staff ? silas : i may have requested a meeting where i told her my thoughts on the oncology department here at general hospital . sam : your thoughts . silas : actually , i have you to thank for that . they were based on observations i made during the treatment of your son . and we both agreed that the department should be led by somebody well versed in the latest clinical oncology with the vision of transferring this hospital into the state - of - the- art facility that it should be . dr. quartermaine asked me if i knew anybody that fit this description . i said i did , and she offered me the job on the spot . sam : but your life is in new york city . listen , i totally understand why monica would offer you the job . i just -- i do n't get why you would accept it . [ scene_break ] ava : michael ? why would kiki want to be alone with michael ? morgan : okay , this is gon na sound crazy , but i do n't -- i think -- i think kiki and michael are attracted to each other . ava : what ? morgan : yeah . i know . it sucks because , well , he 's my brother . ava : he 's her first cousin . morgan : yep . and that makes it creepier . ava : i 'll say . you know something ? even if kiki and michael are attracted to each other , it 's not gon na go anywhere . it 'll handle itself . and i happen to know that kiki cares about you . morgan : i hope you 're right . because i got to tell you , i really like your daughter . ava : i 'm glad to hear that . morgan : no , no . you know what ? it 's -- it 's more than that . i ... i know it has n't been very long . but i think i 'm in love with her .

[ scene_break ] connie : i had to end my relationship with sonny for the sake of my mental health . but now that i see sonny and olivia getting closer ... it 's very upsetting , and i have no right to feel that way , because i 'm the one that gave sonny up . maxie : yeah , but you said you 're not even sure that something is going on between sonny and olivia . connie : that 's right . but proximity leads to opportunity . maxie : proximity ? connie : yes . olivia moved in with sonny while she 's recuperating from the gunshot wound . maxie : wow . she 's living with him ? connie : it 's just for now . and she asked me pointblank -- she said , `` does it bother you ? `` and she said , `` if there 's any chance that this is n't okay with you , tell me , say the word , `` and i could n't say it . because i gave sonny up . that was my choice . and i have to live with that . right ? maxie : wrong ! majorly wrong . like , `` you just made the biggest mistake of your life `` wrong . [ scene_break ] sonny : what about connie ? olivia : [ sighs ] come on , sonny . do n't act like you do n't know what i 'm talking about . she still loves you . you know that . i know that . sonny : how many times has she made it clear that she ca n't be with me , and how hard did i fight her on that ? she 's given me no choice but to take her at her word . i got to accept it . i got to ... move on with someone else . olivia : if you 're talking about me ... i do n't know if i can do that . [ scene_break ] lulu : dante and i mutually agreed that we wanted to know the sex of the baby , which is good , and know that little what 's - her - name is a baby girl . spinelli : that 's wonderful . [ chuckles ] lulu : it really is . i mean , not that we would n't have been excited if it was a boy . dante : no , we would have been totally happy . lulu : it 's just knowing now that she 's a girl makes her a person . makes her our daughter . dante : yeah , it 's hard to picture her any other way . lulu : dante is already in overprotective - dad mode . i feel very , very sorry for anyone who dares to ask her out . spinelli : what , you 're not gon na let your daughter date ? dante : what ? no . she can date . when she 's 30 . spinelli : i mean , i know you 're exaggerating for -- dante : no , i 'm not exaggerating . i think 30 's a good age , just as long as she has a chaperone . lulu : yeah . put it this way . i have a few years to get him to see straight . spinelli : right . you know , i guess i 'd be equally as protective if i were in your position . i do n't think i 'll end up having any children , but if i were , i - i always thought how nice it would be to have a little girl . [ scene_break ] maxie : okay . i need to tell you something . now , it may appear that i 'm talking about myself . but if you just bear with me , you 'll see that i 'm talking about you and the terrible mistake that i think you 're making . connie : go on . maxie : spinelli has been in love with me for years . we even had a non - wedding because the real wedding did n't work out . he knew i was n't ready . deep down , he knew i was doubting my love for him . so after we broke up , you know , spinelli was still around to help me , to care about me . i knew he was pining for me , but ... i would not let myself get back together with him . i - i gave myself a million reasons why we would never work out . and then one day i realized how stupid all of those reasons were . because , of course , i love spinelli . he gets me better than anyone else ever has . he makes me a better person . and most importantly , he made me happy . but none of that matters now , because spinelli has moved on with someone else . and i do n't have anybody to blame by myself , because i waited too long , and i lost my chance . connie : a little -- make that a lot -- of what you just said can apply to me and sonny . maxie : my point is if you still love sonny and you think that there 's a window of opportunity , whatever you do , do n't wait . because from what i 've just heard , if you do n't make your move soon , sonny could end up with your best friend , olivia . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know how much i love connie . i 'd do anything for her . but if she keeps telling me that she ca n't be with me , sooner or later , i 've got to listen . olivia : i know how much she put you through the wringer . sonny : and whatever 's going on here with us ... it 's easy with you 'cause i know you . and maybe we did n't acknowledge that before because of connie , but last night , we did acknowledge it , and i do n't think we did anything wrong . like i said , you know , it just felt right to me . [ scene_break ] kiki : i had a dream about you last night . michael : really ? what , uh , what kind of dream ? kiki : i woke up , and i was n't in bed with morgan . i was in bed with you . michael : [ sighs ] really ? kiki : and you went to kiss me , and that 's when i woke up . i guess my subconscious must know that it 's wrong , because it woke me up before anything could happen . michael : kiki , why are you telling me this ? kiki : i do n't know , mikey . maybe because i hate it . michael : do n't you think i hate it , too ? but this is our reality . we have to stay away from each other because it 's wrong . kiki : well , if it 's so wrong , then why does it seem like the universe keeps finding ways to throw us together ? [ scene_break ] ava : oh , morgan . `` love `` is a big word for a very young man . morgan : i know . but i know how i feel . i 'm just -- i 'm not sure that kiki feels as strongly about me . ava : well , i like you . i think that you and kiki are good for each other . i would like to see your relationship succeed . and i 'll help you , if you 'll let me . morgan : w - why would you do that for me ? ava : because i think you 're a decent person . morgan : [ chuckles ] well , not everyone would agree . ava : so you 've made some mistakes . big deal . i get a good feeling from you . and i have from the moment we met . morgan : well , thank you . ava : i 'll work on kiki . in the meantime , you go and buy her something . morgan : like -- like what ? ava : just ... something expensive . my daughter likes the finer things , no matter how much she likes to pretend she 's above the money . morgan : right . well , there 's a slight problem with that . i do n't have any money . or a credit card . ava : oh , well ... you can borrow one of mine . kiki does n't have to know . it 'll be our little secret .

[ scene_break ] maxie : okay . i need to tell you something . now , it may appear that i 'm talking about myself . but if you just bear with me , you 'll see that i 'm talking about you and the terrible mistake that i think you 're making . connie : go on . maxie : spinelli has been in love with me for years . we even had a non - wedding because the real wedding did n't work out . he knew i was n't ready . deep down , he knew i was doubting my love for him . so after we broke up , you know , spinelli was still around to help me , to care about me . i knew he was pining for me , but ... i would not let myself get back together with him . i - i gave myself a million reasons why we would never work out . and then one day i realized how stupid all of those reasons were . because , of course , i love spinelli . he gets me better than anyone else ever has . he makes me a better person . and most importantly , he made me happy . but none of that matters now , because spinelli has moved on with someone else . and i do n't have anybody to blame by myself , because i waited too long , and i lost my chance . connie : a little -- make that a lot -- of what you just said can apply to me and sonny . maxie : my point is if you still love sonny and you think that there 's a window of opportunity , whatever you do , do n't wait . because from what i 've just heard , if you do n't make your move soon , sonny could end up with your best friend , olivia . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know how much i love connie . i 'd do anything for her . but if she keeps telling me that she ca n't be with me , sooner or later , i 've got to listen . olivia : i know how much she put you through the wringer . sonny : and whatever 's going on here with us ... it 's easy with you 'cause i know you . and maybe we did n't acknowledge that before because of connie , but last night , we did acknowledge it , and i do n't think we did anything wrong . like i said , you know , it just felt right to me .

[ scene_break ] jason : you wanted to leave this business , sonny . you ca n't just change your mind about it just like that . it does n't -- it does n't work that way . sonny : things have changed . so , just so i 'm clear , you 're cutting me out ? jason : no , you cut yourself out . you signed it all away so you could start a new , legitimate life . sonny : you did n't even want to take over . jason : but i did take over , because it 's what you wanted me to do . i took on the responsibility of running this business and now i 've got to see it through . i ca n't let you just back in here right now . it would n't be fair to the people who work for me to let you come in here and use them for your own revenge . sonny : those people worked for me , they trust me . jason : and you 're willing to take them to war on circumstantial evidence . sonny : karpov shot kate ! that does n't mean anything ? if i do n't retaliate , then it gives that russian free reign to do whatever he wants . if you do n't care about kate , that 's one thing . but think of the message that you 're sending . the next one that he can come after is one of your own . jason : it does n't add up . if karpov shot kate , why 's he going to deny it ? sonny , we do n't have -- sonny : listen to me ! she 's in the hospital . she 's dying . the only way to stop this from happening again is to make sure karpov pays with his life .

[ scene_break ] claudia : my father does n't have a lot of faith in me . but i put my life on the line for john and he has to at least pretend to be grateful . ric : your father knows what i know . you 're remarkable . claudia : it wo n't last , the gratitude . sooner or later , daddy will turn his back on me again . he always does . ric : well , i guess nobody can accuse either of us to ride our fathers ' coattails our whole lives , right ? claudia : which begs the question . you 're a smart , ambitious man . so what the hell are you doing here with me ? ric : you 're not serious ? claudia : yeah . ric : oh , come on , claudia , we 've been -- we 've been dancing around each other for months now . claudia : yeah , and you -- you must realize , surely , that there 's a limit to my usefulness . i mean , sooner or later , daddy 's going to turn his back on me . he 's going to throw me back out into the cold , like he always does . ric : so , basically , what you 're saying is you -- you think that i 'm here to figure out how many different ways i can use you , right ? hey , i 'm not the one who opened the door and let me in . claudia : i told you if you got my brother acquitted , i would sleep with you . and i always pay my debts . ric : i 'm sorry , we 're -- we 're a sad pair , are n't we ? yeah , we 've been screwed over so many times that we do n't even -- we ca n't even realize when we have something that 's authentic right in front of us . it 's always back to the games , is n't it ? it 's a nice comfort zone . claudia : if what you 're feeling right now is comfort , then clearly , i 've lost my touch . ric : you have n't . hey ... i 'm going to give you one more chance . tell me to leave . claudia : why would i do that ? ric : because you know the minute that either one of us commits to this , somebody 's going to betray somebody . claudia : it 's a guarantee . it 's not going to be me who tells you to leave . it 's up to you .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal has found that orange soda lends clarity to his thought process . perhaps it will do the same for you . nadine : hmm , well , if that 's your way of telling me i 've made a total mess of things , i could not agree more . spinelli : well , perhaps the situation is not as dire as you fear . nadine : oh , it 's dire all right . me and nikolas -- no , there is no me and nikolas . i do n't know why i ever thought i stood a chance . he 's a prince , literally . i 'm way -- he is way out of my league . spinelli : do n't underestimate the qualities you possess in abundance . prince nikolas is not immune to your charms . nadine : well , he likes me . i know that -- in a kid sister kind of way , except for the fact that we had the most amazing sex last night . oh , sorry , way too much information . spinelli : no , the jackal gives his word that fair nadine can confide in him without fear of her heartfelt secrets being revealed . nadine : oh , i guess sex means different things to different people . sleeping with nikolas was a big deal for me . spinelli : it is a burden to feel so deeply when the one you care about does not return your affection to the same degree . nadine : i did n't want to smother nikolas , so i did n't want to make a big deal of it , but now we 're in this awkward situation where we have to ignore each other and avoid each other like the plague . i mean , how sad is that ? instead of last night being the start of something incredible , it 's the end . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know how this family felt about sonny . yeah , they were not too happy that i got pregnant , but if they would have known that sonny was the father , man , they would have killed me . plus , i was n't about to compete with you , so ... i just keep thinking , if i would have just told the truth all those years ago , or even a couple of days ago when sonny came to bensonhurst -- if -- if i would have just told him the damn truth , then you would n't be lying in this bed right now . it 's crazy . i -- i just got to let this go . i know you agree with me . sonny : agree about what ? olivia : how long you been standing there ? sonny : i just walked in . you were talking to kate . olivia : yeah , i keep talking to her , hoping she 's going to wake up . sonny : nothing -- nothing 's changed ? olivia : no . dr. drake said she came to for a minute while he was examining her , but she was n't making a lot of sense . did you do what you needed to do ? sonny : what else did he say ? olivia : he said she 's going to be fine . you want to sit for a minute ? sonny : no , i 'll be fine . i 'm going to go . i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i want to hold off all the shipments for the rest of the week . bernie , because i do n't have a choice . i do n't know what sonny 's capable of . cody : you wanted to see me ? jason : there might be trouble with sonny . he 's unhappy with some of the decisions i 'm making . cody : if i were sonny , i 'd surmise it was karpov who shot my bride , and i 'd want to retaliate . jason : sonny 's acting on emotions , cody . cody : you do n't think karpov did it ? jason : i do n't know . i ca n't go to war on a guess . cody : so you shut corinthos down ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : greetings , prince cassadine . nikolas : really , spinelli , would you just call me nikolas ? spinelli : i am at your bidding . nikolas : why did you want to see me ? spinelli : it goes against the jackal 's basic principles to violate personal confidence . however , i 'm very anxious to help my friend , and considering what you saw earlier , that is all that fair nadine and i will ever be , so i just -- nikolas : you -- you really do n't need to tell me all this . spinelli : but allow the grasshopper to be the voice of reason , or at least the voice of truth . the only reason that nadine kissed these lips were to conceal her true feelings for you . she harbors most tender feelings vis - à - vis your princely self . however , fair florence nightingale , however kind and courageous , is often a little muddled in her thought process , and so if any or all of her amorous emotions are reciprocated , it might minimize confusion if the princely one , nikolas , would just reveal his true feelings . nikolas : right .

[ scene_break ] jason : i 'm trusting you with this because you 're new . all the other lieutenants have worked with sonny , and i can not count on their loyalty if sonny approaches them to turn against me . cody : it 's already happening . sonny wants to take over , and i 've been asked to switch sides . i told him i would . [ scene_break ] olivia : connie , connie , honey , it 's olivia . i 'm here , honey . you 're okay . kate : olivia ? olivia : yeah , honey . you 're in the hospital . you 're in the hospital , and you 're just fine . you 're going to be just fine . kate : where 's sonny ? olivia : sonny just went out for a second , but he 's going to be right back , okay ? okay , honey , do n't worry about anything . kate : what happened ? olivia : do n't worry about what happened , honey . you 'll remember when you 're ready , okay ? kate : my wedding . olivia : yeah . kate : something -- olivia : i know . kate : i was shot . olivia : well , yeah , the doctors operated . they took the bullet out . you had the best doctor there was . he says you 're going to be just fine , and he was really cute , too . kate : did something happen to sonny ? olivia : nothing happened to sonny , honey . he 's -- he 's fine . he stepped out -- kate : where is he ? olivia : he just stepped out for a second , but he 's going to be right back , okay , so do n't worry about him . you just got to stay calm , okay ? you just got to not stress out about anything , all right ? kate : something happened to him . olivia : no . olivia : sonny is the reason that you got shot . when he said he was out of the mob , he lied . [ scene_break ] anthony : sonny , the only one with motive to shoot kate was karpov , because you walked out on your deal with him . since the russian is still alive , it figures that jason 's not going to help you retaliate . nothing breaks a man 's heart more than having family turn against you . there is no greater betrayal . i know . trust me . jason morgan cares more about protecting his business interests than he does about you , which leaves you in the chapel with nowhere to turn . i am the answer to your prayers . i will put my personal resources , my entire organization , at your disposal . sonny : what 's the catch ? | because jason wo n't let sonny take over again or start a mob war , sonny declares him to be nothing to him . anthony is right there to offer support and his entire organization to punish karpov for sonny . johnny suspects his father is the one really behind kate 's shooting . as kate lies , waiting to come out of anesthesia , olivia talks to her , wishing she had gone ahead at some point , any point , in the past and told him that she had his baby so he would have married her , not kate . when jax hears that carly plans to fly commercial to a meeting they will both attend , chivalry demands that he offer her the private jet , but he goes commercial , not trusting himself to avoid the mile high club . nadine turns to the jackal for solace , but no romance happens and spinelli tries to intervene on her behalf with the prince . nikolas remains baffled by this woman . claudia and ric 's latest verbal sparring ends in bed . | <s>[INST] spinelli : there seems to be a slight misunderstanding . nadine : it 's a -- no , it 's a -- it 's a little awkward , but we 're all adults here . nikolas : yes , of course . i apologize for the intrusion . spinelli : no , i -- i think i waded into some murky emotional waters here . nadine : no . spinelli : things are n't always as they -- nadine : it 's all right . no commitments were made . we 're both free to be free with other people . spinelli : can i just -- can i just be crystal clear about something ? what just occurred here is not -- nadine : i do n't want to stop you if you have someplace to be . spinelli : you know , actually , i think that if the prince would not rush off if he understood the depths of -- ow ! nadine : nikolas is a very busy man , spinelli . nikolas : yeah , i should go . nadine : okay . well , then , i guess i 'll ... see you around . nikolas : yeah . spinelli : i 'm sorry . can i -- can i inquire as to why you -- you kissed me when it is abundantly clear that you yearned for prince cassadine ? [ scene_break ] claudia : i never would have figured you for a jazz guy . ric : oh , why ? do you think of me as a heavy metal guy ? is that it ? claudia : that or sinatra . ric : sinatra ? you like sinatra ? claudia : who does n't like sinatra ? ric : well , you know , depending upon the circumstances . claudia : so , the whole lunch you never once brought up the family business . ric : yeah , well , i figure , you know , we talk about that too much anyway , unless you feel compelled to ask me something . claudia : why did we do this ? ric : we were hungry . [ claudia laughs ] ric : oh , no , okay . we had an agreement which had nothing to do with the lunch . okay , call me crazy . i actually enjoyed myself . claudia : you 're sounding like this was a real date . ric : well , i guess that depends on you now , does it ? claudia : walk me home and we 'll see . [ ric chuckles ] ric : walk you home ? well , are n't we the traditional girl ? claudia : are you blowing me off ? ric : no , i 'm not that crazy .

[ scene_break ] anthony : good to see you in one piece . i heard you tried to block karpov 's shipment . it 's a nice gesture , john , if you were trying to help your old man . you know , there are better ways to lend a hand than using yourself as a human torpedo . johnny : i 've been thinking about getting myself a new speedboat anyway . anthony : i 'm sensing my son is feeling a bit volatile . johnny : no , i 'm just accepting my very unique fate , that i am john zacchara , son of anthony zacchara , heir of a sprawling criminal enterprise with tentacles in every illegal action possible . this is my life . this is what i was born into . and every time i try to change it , somebody ends up dying or getting hurt . and i 'm done with that . so this is me accepting -- no , this is me embracing my fate . so you got me . you finally got what you wanted . so this is me sitting at your feet . do with me what you will . anthony : sit down . go on . [ johnny weeps ] anthony : it hurts a father 's heart to see innocence die in his son . lulu went crazy because you could n't leave her alone , even when you knew you should . or am i wrong ? johnny : no . anthony : you know , believe it or not , i had a time of innocence myself . it was brief , like yours . you know , all it takes to drive home the terrible truths about the limits of life is a first love . it changes you forever , for good or bad , usually bad . i mean , how many people actually end up with their first love ? claudia 's mother , dominica , was mine . we know how that turned out . and then i thought i had found my second chance , your mother . john ... i 'll always regret what happened to maria . johnny : yeah . anthony : but one remarkable thing came from that union -- you , my son , my immortality . when i 'm gone , you 're going to be ready to take over . i 'm going to make sure of it . i 'll teach you how to manage people , how to stay smarter than the next guy . but listen to me now . the learning does n't happen overnight . it takes time and it takes watchful study . so until you 've absorbed what you need to learn , i want you to stay away from the front lines of the family business . johnny : okay , you know what ? forgive me , but i do n't understand . i finally put my ass on the line for you . you 've been singing the same song and dance for years , that you wanted me to take over , and now what ? nothing ? anthony : you 'll inherit your legacy when -- when it 's time . right now i got other plans . johnny : what 's this ? johnny : it 's a gift for me ? oh . i can take up a new hobby . [ scene_break ] jason : sonny , you signed over the business to me . you entrusted me with it , to run it the best i could . and in the interest of the business and everyone in my organization , i just -- i ca n't let you just take over . sonny : this is not how i taught you -- jason : you taught me to take care of the people who work for me . that 's what i 'm doing . sonny : so , what , i just go screw myself ? jason : no , you want revenge . and i understand that . sonny : no , you do n't understand a damn thing . my wife - to - be was shot right in front of me . i built this business . i 'm taking it back . that 's what 's happening . [ scene_break ] nikolas : hey , you have a minute ? elizabeth : yeah , what 's going on ? nikolas : well , i just had a rather unsettling -- you know , i do n't even know how to put it . elizabeth : uh - oh , it 's not like you to be at a loss for words . nikolas : no . you know what , never mind . it 's -- it 's ridiculous . forget i asked anything . elizabeth : so far , you have n't asked anything . nikolas : i know . i just -- i do n't want to bother you with this . you got more important things to do . elizabeth : it 's nadine , is n't it ? nikolas : yes . i do n't want to sound egotistical or anything , but i was fairly certain that she had a crush on me . elizabeth : i 'd agree with that . nikolas : and for the past few months , i kept her at arm 's length because i -- because i do n't -- i do n't want to hurt her . and she deserves better than a transitional relationship . but now , i do n't know . elizabeth : what ? you stopped being an idiot and decided to let her make her own grownup choices ? nikolas : we -- we spent the night together . and i thought it was -- i thought it was great . but now all of a sudden , she 's treating me like a casual acquaintance . elizabeth : how casual ? nikolas : i caught her kissing spinelli . [ scene_break ] patrick : best thing for kate right now is rest . olivia : i 'm sure . but did she say anything when she woke up ? patrick : well , she was a little weak and disoriented , which is to be expected . i 'd be surprised if she knew where she was or how she got here . people often are disoriented when they come out of anesthesia . olivia : got it . so what -- what happens now ? patrick : we let kate 's body do what it needs to do . but i would n't go far . if she wakes up , she 's going to need your support . tell her that she 's in the hospital , she 's recovering from surgery , and her prognosis looks excellent . olivia : okay , i 'm not going anywhere . patrick : good . she 's going to be weak , so try not to upset her . olivia : yeah , that might be easier said than done . you probably heard about the big fight that we had right before her wedding . we had n't seen each other in 20 years and we 're screaming right in each other 's faces , pushing each other 's buttons . long way of saying that we 've got a pretty volatile relationship , so ... patrick : yeah , well , show me a family that does n't . the important thing is you 're here now . olivia : what if she asks to see sonny ? patrick : well , i 'm sure she will . they were about to be married . olivia : you know , he 's the one that 's responsible for her getting shot . patrick : well , like i said , the most important thing for her now is rest and to not become agitated . if she wants to see sonny , she should be able to . if she has questions about how she got shot , answer them . but do n't push those buttons . if you need me , you can page me . olivia : thanks . [ scene_break ] jason : you wanted to leave this business , sonny . you ca n't just change your mind about it just like that . it does n't -- it does n't work that way . sonny : things have changed . so , just so i 'm clear , you 're cutting me out ? jason : no , you cut yourself out . you signed it all away so you could start a new , legitimate life . sonny : you did n't even want to take over . jason : but i did take over , because it 's what you wanted me to do . i took on the responsibility of running this business and now i 've got to see it through . i ca n't let you just back in here right now . it would n't be fair to the people who work for me to let you come in here and use them for your own revenge . sonny : those people worked for me , they trust me . jason : and you 're willing to take them to war on circumstantial evidence . sonny : karpov shot kate ! that does n't mean anything ? if i do n't retaliate , then it gives that russian free reign to do whatever he wants . if you do n't care about kate , that 's one thing . but think of the message that you 're sending . the next one that he can come after is one of your own . jason : it does n't add up . if karpov shot kate , why 's he going to deny it ? sonny , we do n't have -- sonny : listen to me ! she 's in the hospital . she 's dying . the only way to stop this from happening again is to make sure karpov pays with his life . [ scene_break ] [ jazz music plays ] claudia : nice . ric : well , you know , great minds ... that was in the player . claudia : so my never - ending gratitude for making sure that my brother walked out of that courtroom a free man . you will never know what that means to me . ric : so i got a confession . claudia : they say it 's good for the soul . ric : you know , i got a pretty healthy ego when it comes to my job . i know i 'm good , okay ? i relish the -- the adrenaline of the trials , especially when it 's so -- so hopeless . i got to say , the more i heard that i was n't going to win john 's case , the more i felt that i -- i had to . claudia : oh , so what you 're telling me is you would 've taken the case even without me as an incentive ? ric : well , let 's just say you did n't have to convince me quite so hard . i probably would 've defended your brother regardless . claudia : to prove yourself to your father or mine ? ric : no , this one was for me . maybe you . ric : regardless , i 'm glad you were persistent . claudia : you know , you did n't seem too glad when you were , you know , in that room with little miss harvard law and i interrupted you . ric : i ca n't remember anybody but you promising to make it worth my while if i got johnny acquitted . ric : and here we are . [ scene_break ] johnny : this is a gregorovich . we do n't use russian rifles , and our guards have u.s.-made guns . anthony : well , i 'm starting a collection . johnny : yeah , even more interesting is that this russian rifle , which fires only russian bullets , was fired recently . now , dad , if you wanted to hide that fact , the least you could have done was clean the thing up before putting it back in the case . that was careless , sloppy . now that 's going to be the first thing the cops are going to look for when they come after you . anthony : but they 're not looking , not at me . and they wo n't .

[ scene_break ] olivia : i know you love sonny . maybe that 's all you want to say . god , i hope so . when you left home , you carried my secret with you . we are the only two people on the earth that know that sonny 's dante 's father . i guess my bad reputation , it turned out to be a blessing in disguise . the whole family believed me when i said that dante 's father could have been any one of three or four different guys . sonny 's name was never even mentioned . but you know , connie . you know . and that whole time that you were falling back in love with sonny ... you kept my secret . you knew . you knew that he had other children . you knew that one of them got shot because of sonny . you knew if anything ever happened to dante , i would -- oh , god , i would just literally -- i would lay down and die . olivia : so ... sonny never has to know about his son . [ scene_break ] sonny : when you worked for me , did i ever refuse to protect the people that you love ? jason : list -- listen to me . i -- i want to do everything that you 're asking me to do . i am loyal to you . sonny : you do n't know the meaning of loyalty . jason : i can not make an emotional decision . i got to look at the facts . it 's not about what i want . it 's about my responsibility . sonny : if this was the woman that you loved , and someone shot her , he 'd be dead right now . jason : i would do what had to be done . i would not get emotional because it leads to bad decisions . you know that . sonny : you do n't even realize that you 're going to lose everything if you do n't take a stand on this . jason : you know what ? just go -- just go back to the hospital and be with kate . you going to -- you 're going to do what you have to do . just try to get on with your life . sonny : you refuse to defend your territory and the people you love . that makes you weak . and people like karpov , maybe even zacchara ... are going to take you down . it breaks my heart to know that everything that i built will be destroyed . but you know what ? in the end , we all get what we deserve . [ scene_break ] claudia : my father does n't have a lot of faith in me . but i put my life on the line for john and he has to at least pretend to be grateful . ric : your father knows what i know . you 're remarkable . claudia : it wo n't last , the gratitude . sooner or later , daddy will turn his back on me again . he always does . ric : well , i guess nobody can accuse either of us to ride our fathers ' coattails our whole lives , right ? claudia : which begs the question . you 're a smart , ambitious man . so what the hell are you doing here with me ? ric : you 're not serious ? claudia : yeah . ric : oh , come on , claudia , we 've been -- we 've been dancing around each other for months now . claudia : yeah , and you -- you must realize , surely , that there 's a limit to my usefulness . i mean , sooner or later , daddy 's going to turn his back on me . he 's going to throw me back out into the cold , like he always does . ric : so , basically , what you 're saying is you -- you think that i 'm here to figure out how many different ways i can use you , right ? hey , i 'm not the one who opened the door and let me in . claudia : i told you if you got my brother acquitted , i would sleep with you . and i always pay my debts . ric : i 'm sorry , we 're -- we 're a sad pair , are n't we ? yeah , we 've been screwed over so many times that we do n't even -- we ca n't even realize when we have something that 's authentic right in front of us . it 's always back to the games , is n't it ? it 's a nice comfort zone . claudia : if what you 're feeling right now is comfort , then clearly , i 've lost my touch . ric : you have n't . hey ... i 'm going to give you one more chance . tell me to leave . claudia : why would i do that ? ric : because you know the minute that either one of us commits to this , somebody 's going to betray somebody . claudia : it 's a guarantee . it 's not going to be me who tells you to leave . it 's up to you . [ scene_break ] johnny : you know , everyone still thinks the shooting was karpov 's orders . anthony : that makes sense . corinthos backed out of his deal with the russian . he had to know there 'd be payback . johnny : you hate sonny specifically because he kidnapped me and held me hostage . anthony : and beat the living crap out of you . but who 's keeping score ? johnny : you wanted to punish sonny by hurting somebody that he loves . and what a better time to do it than a wedding ? and you frame karpov in the process . but there is one way you would do this and that is if you could find the one person that you could depend on to carry this out , miss sonny , and hit his bride . and there 's only one person on this earth that you trust that much . anthony : you realize you 're accusing a crippled old man ? johnny : come here . anthony : what are you doing ? johnny : come here , come here . anthony : what are -- what are you doing ? [ anthony yelps ] anthony : help me up , john . johnny : you can stand . you can walk . you do n't need anybody 's help . anthony : if i could walk , i 'd be kicking your ass right now ! how dare you treat your father this way ? johnny : what are you going to do about it ? are you going to kick me out ? you 're going to disinherit me ? you 're going to have me whacked ? no , you 're not going to do any of those things , because i 'm your heir . now , if i 'm wrong here and you really are the paralyzed man that you 're pretending to be , then all you got to do is call for help , and suddenly trevor , maybe claudia , will come up here and pick you up off the floor and put you right back in the chair . the only problem is they 're going to find this russian rifle . anthony : you ca n't leave me this way . johnny : i just did .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : nikolas , i have known you for too many years , which is why i know you have a great big blind spot about yourself . you seem to forget that you are a prince , and ever since we were little girls , we were told that our prince will come along and sweep us off our feet and make all of our dreams come true . and to sweet little nadine , you are her fairy tale , and her first instinct is to just fall at your feet in a puddle . nikolas : she 's doing the exact opposite right now . elizabeth : because she 's overcompensating . nikolas : by kissing spinelli ? elizabeth : you know , i 'm sure she 's just trying to protect her heart and she 's trying to convince herself that -- that she does n't need you . nikolas : so she 's over - thinking ? yeah , that sounds like her . elizabeth : okay , let me translate this . nadine is head over heels for you and is trying desperately not to show it . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the jackal has found that orange soda lends clarity to his thought process . perhaps it will do the same for you . nadine : hmm , well , if that 's your way of telling me i 've made a total mess of things , i could not agree more . spinelli : well , perhaps the situation is not as dire as you fear . nadine : oh , it 's dire all right . me and nikolas -- no , there is no me and nikolas . i do n't know why i ever thought i stood a chance . he 's a prince , literally . i 'm way -- he is way out of my league . spinelli : do n't underestimate the qualities you possess in abundance . prince nikolas is not immune to your charms . nadine : well , he likes me . i know that -- in a kid sister kind of way , except for the fact that we had the most amazing sex last night . oh , sorry , way too much information . spinelli : no , the jackal gives his word that fair nadine can confide in him without fear of her heartfelt secrets being revealed . nadine : oh , i guess sex means different things to different people . sleeping with nikolas was a big deal for me . spinelli : it is a burden to feel so deeply when the one you care about does not return your affection to the same degree . nadine : i did n't want to smother nikolas , so i did n't want to make a big deal of it , but now we 're in this awkward situation where we have to ignore each other and avoid each other like the plague . i mean , how sad is that ? instead of last night being the start of something incredible , it 's the end . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know how this family felt about sonny . yeah , they were not too happy that i got pregnant , but if they would have known that sonny was the father , man , they would have killed me . plus , i was n't about to compete with you , so ... i just keep thinking , if i would have just told the truth all those years ago , or even a couple of days ago when sonny came to bensonhurst -- if -- if i would have just told him the damn truth , then you would n't be lying in this bed right now . it 's crazy . i -- i just got to let this go . i know you agree with me . sonny : agree about what ? olivia : how long you been standing there ? sonny : i just walked in . you were talking to kate . olivia : yeah , i keep talking to her , hoping she 's going to wake up . sonny : nothing -- nothing 's changed ? olivia : no . dr. drake said she came to for a minute while he was examining her , but she was n't making a lot of sense . did you do what you needed to do ? sonny : what else did he say ? olivia : he said she 's going to be fine . you want to sit for a minute ? sonny : no , i 'll be fine . i 'm going to go . i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] jason : look , i want to hold off all the shipments for the rest of the week . bernie , because i do n't have a choice . i do n't know what sonny 's capable of . cody : you wanted to see me ? jason : there might be trouble with sonny . he 's unhappy with some of the decisions i 'm making . cody : if i were sonny , i 'd surmise it was karpov who shot my bride , and i 'd want to retaliate . jason : sonny 's acting on emotions , cody . cody : you do n't think karpov did it ? jason : i do n't know . i ca n't go to war on a guess . cody : so you shut corinthos down ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : greetings , prince cassadine . nikolas : really , spinelli , would you just call me nikolas ? spinelli : i am at your bidding . nikolas : why did you want to see me ? spinelli : it goes against the jackal 's basic principles to violate personal confidence . however , i 'm very anxious to help my friend , and considering what you saw earlier , that is all that fair nadine and i will ever be , so i just -- nikolas : you -- you really do n't need to tell me all this . spinelli : but allow the grasshopper to be the voice of reason , or at least the voice of truth . the only reason that nadine kissed these lips were to conceal her true feelings for you . she harbors most tender feelings vis - à - vis your princely self . however , fair florence nightingale , however kind and courageous , is often a little muddled in her thought process , and so if any or all of her amorous emotions are reciprocated , it might minimize confusion if the princely one , nikolas , would just reveal his true feelings . nikolas : right .

[ scene_break ] jason : i 'm trusting you with this because you 're new . all the other lieutenants have worked with sonny , and i can not count on their loyalty if sonny approaches them to turn against me . cody : it 's already happening . sonny wants to take over , and i 've been asked to switch sides . i told him i would . [ scene_break ] olivia : connie , connie , honey , it 's olivia . i 'm here , honey . you 're okay . kate : olivia ? olivia : yeah , honey . you 're in the hospital . you 're in the hospital , and you 're just fine . you 're going to be just fine . kate : where 's sonny ? olivia : sonny just went out for a second , but he 's going to be right back , okay ? okay , honey , do n't worry about anything . kate : what happened ? olivia : do n't worry about what happened , honey . you 'll remember when you 're ready , okay ? kate : my wedding . olivia : yeah . kate : something -- olivia : i know . kate : i was shot . olivia : well , yeah , the doctors operated . they took the bullet out . you had the best doctor there was . he says you 're going to be just fine , and he was really cute , too . kate : did something happen to sonny ? olivia : nothing happened to sonny , honey . he 's -- he 's fine . he stepped out -- kate : where is he ? olivia : he just stepped out for a second , but he 's going to be right back , okay , so do n't worry about him . you just got to stay calm , okay ? you just got to not stress out about anything , all right ? kate : something happened to him . olivia : no . olivia : sonny is the reason that you got shot . when he said he was out of the mob , he lied . [ scene_break ] anthony : sonny , the only one with motive to shoot kate was karpov , because you walked out on your deal with him . since the russian is still alive , it figures that jason 's not going to help you retaliate . nothing breaks a man 's heart more than having family turn against you . there is no greater betrayal . i know . trust me . jason morgan cares more about protecting his business interests than he does about you , which leaves you in the chapel with nowhere to turn . i am the answer to your prayers . i will put my personal resources , my entire organization , at your disposal . sonny : what 's the catch ?Summarize.[/INST]because jason wo n't let sonny take over again or start a mob war , sonny declares him to be nothing to him . anthony is right there to offer support and his entire organization to punish karpov for sonny . johnny suspects his father is the one really behind kate 's shooting . as kate lies , waiting to come out of anesthesia , olivia talks to her , wishing she had gone ahead at some point , any point , in the past and told him that she had his baby so he would have married her , not kate . when jax hears that carly plans to fly commercial to a meeting they will both attend , chivalry demands that he offer her the private jet , but he goes commercial , not trusting himself to avoid the mile high club . nadine turns to the jackal for solace , but no romance happens and spinelli tries to intervene on her behalf with the prince . nikolas remains baffled by this woman . claudia and ric 's latest verbal sparring ends in bed .</s> | 1,107 |

[ scene_break ] ric : getting you moved to shadybrook was the first hurdle . convincing the judge that you 're sane is going to be a little bit more difficult , considering the laundry list of crimes that you committed , each one more heinous than the last . anthony : pot calling the kettle black , do n't you think ? ric : your hearing is next wednesday , anthony . i want you to be prepared . do n't go trying to explain away anything you did during your insanity . our entire defense hinges on the assertion that you are as much a victim of your illness as the people that you hurt . you have to appear extremely remorseful and thoroughly appalled , as any normal human being would be , by the suffering that you caused . johnny : where 's claudia ?

[ gunshots ] claudia : here 's a thought . why do n't you try aiming instead of wasting bullets ? jason : it was a warning shot to stop the guy from getting a better position . claudia : for how long ? one , two , three minutes maybe ? jason : that 's more time than we had before . claudia : fine , what are we gon na do after that ? we ca n't hold them off for long with one gun . jason : why do n't you make a run for it ? if he shoots you , maybe he 'll quit while he 's ahead .

[ knocking on door ] will : hi . zoe : you headed out to the gym or something ? will : actually , i was gon na go play a pickup basketball game but i just found out i missed it . zoe : good . will : i did n't know magazine editors made house calls . zoe : well they do when they need a signed contract . where is it ? will : what 's the rush ? zoe : i have a new assignment for you . it 's a profile piece . will : who 's the subject ? zoe : chad dimera . jeremiah : just who the hell do you think you are ? chad : well , my friends call me chad -- jeremiah : what kinda name is that ? chad : but you can call me mr. dimera . i 'm the guy who 's telling you : leave this girl alone . jeremiah : you got the wrong idea . her and i are old friends . we go way back , do n't we tammy sue ? i just wanted to say hello . chad : and now you have . jeremiah : you take care , now . chad : i hope i did n't barge in . i just did not like the way that guy was talking to you . jordan : i did n't like it , either . thank you . chad : i remember you . we have n't been introduced , but i thought your name was jordan . sonny : will and i took ari to see gabi yesterday . rafe : oh , thanks , man . bet that meant the world to her . sonny : got some pictures . rafe : yeah ? sonny : uh - huh , see . rafe : aw . see . i do n't know how she does it -- she still manages to smile , even when she 's going through hell . god , i worry about her . sonny : person she 's worried about is you . ben : want to talk about jordan ? what about her ? lucas : well , it 's just , uh , i heard jordan and rafe broke up . ben : yeah . lucas : yeah , it 's too bad because , you know , they 're both really great people and i thought it would work out between them . ben : oh . lucas : do you think it still could ? ben : what 's this about ? are you asking me if you can take my sister out ? kate : well , um , you may be very adept at reading women , but if you are sensing any interest coming from me , then i think you may want to have your meter checked . clyde : oh , if i 've given you offense , i 'm so sorry . kate : offense . no , no , do n't be silly . women just adore the phrase , `` women are women . `` we respond so well to that . clyde : oh . well -- what i was trying to say is that , where i 'm from you learn , pretty early on , that you ca n't always trust everything that comes out of a person 's mouth . kate : even so , do n't you think you oughta have some respect for it ? clyde : oh , yes ma'am . but what i trust is what i see in their eyes . now , maybe the question here is n't whether or not you 're interested , maybe the question is , um -- kate : what ? clyde : well , you say you 're so swamped at work that you ca n't have lunch with me . but kate , you run a cosmetics company , right ? you and i both know that if you go out to lunch , women everywhere certainly are n't gon na run out of lipstick . right ? so it makes me wonder , is there some other reason you 're too afraid to share a simple meal with me ? roman : you know what , sami , people told me that maybe you were over the top , going after him the way you did when you found out he cheated on you . you know what i said ? `` no . `` i said i thought you got it about right . i said i thought you had finally figured out who you got involved with . ej : she 's involved with a man who loves her , roman , and who has always loved her . roman : and you show your love by sleeping with another woman . i do n't even want to think what you 'd do if you actually hated my daughter . sami , please , tell me you are not this desperate . will : we have been over this . zoe : and i agreed not to ask you to write about your family . did you turn into a dimera when i was n't looking ? will : my mother is married to chad 's brother . zoe : yeah , legally . that does n't make him family . will : oh , you are splitting hairs . besides , he is my husband 's business partner . zoe : the man is a dimera . our readership loves to read about them . our sales numbers prove it . will : even so , chad , he has no power at dimera enterprises . zoe : ah , but his brother -- the brother that he took a bullet for -- slept with his ex . he grew up thinking that he was the son of a judge and the d.a . then he finds out that he is the biological son of stefano dimera and his mother died in a tragic accident . tell me that that 's not a cover story . will : even so , i have not spoken to chad since he left . he 's thousands of miles away . zoe : not anymore . he 's back . jennifer : chad is back ? how do you know that , did someone tell you ? abigail : i wish . i was at the square , i was waiting ben , and then chad just walked by . jennifer : how did that go ? abigail : it was good , at first , actually , but he was just biding his time . jennifer : he 'd read the article ? abigail : yep . sami sent it to him . jennifer : is there no end to what that woman will do ? abigail : i do n't know . but chad knows all about ej and me , now . he said there 's no one i could 've picked that would 've hurt him more . jordan : i grew up being tammy sue but i never really liked my name . chad : jordan suits you . jordan : thanks . chad : so , did you grow up in the south , like that guy ? jordan : we lived in the same town , but i managed to lose my accent when i left . chad : and what 's he doin ' here ? jordan : i did n't ask . how are you doing ? chad : okay . jordan : i mean , the night we saw each other at the club it was right before you got shot . it must 've been hard to come back here . chad : sort of . yeah , but i 'm back now . how 's rafe ? jordan : fully recovered . chad : oh , that 's great . jordan : yeah , it is . chad : and were n't you and he -- jordan : uh , yeah -- but not anymore . chad : really ? well , i thought he was smarter than that . rafe : well , i 'll make sure that gabi knows that she does n't have to worry about me . i 'm just fine . sonny : she blames herself for what happened with you and jordan . rafe : what ? no , that 's ridiculous . and i will set her straight . there 's only one guy who 's responsible for screwing things up between jordan and me . you 're looking at him . lucas : you know , if i was interested in taking your sister out , i 'd probably ask her myself . i was just hoping to hear she was okay . ben : seems like you 're hoping for something else . lucas : no . no , i 've been the rebound guy a few times in my life , um , i do n't want to be that guy again . roman : see , i did n't come here to have a scene with you , i came to talk to my daughter about something else . ej : so next time , here 's a thought : call before you come over , and then you wo n't have to see things you do n't wish to see . sami : okay , uh , ej , hey , um , how 'bout we let me talk to my dad for a little bit . just the two of us -- okay . ej : okay . if you need me for anything i 'll be back here in an instant . sami : all right , dad , let me have it . will : chad 's back ? you know that for sure ? zoe : one of my stringers was on his flight last night . will : and you want to use what he 's been through to sell magazines . zoe : you catch on quick . will : the guy is my friend . zoe : oh come on , you just said you have n't talked to him since he left . that was like a year ago . was n't chad dimera the guy who outed you at your own wedding ? will : you should run that through a fact - checker , because that is no where near being accurate . zoe : right . he said that the groom was n't the father of the bride 's baby , you were . which is even better . our readers will eat that up . will : oh , so i should just be okay with pimping out my personal life for the magazine . zoe : is n't that what you did when you wrote about your mother ? will : i learned from my mistake . zoe : okay . fine . this is a great story , but if you have a problem with writing it , then i 'll give you a pass . will : that 's what my deal is . zoe : but , there is going to be an article about chad , whether you like it or not , and i have a whole stable of writers who are dying for an assignment like this . and maybe they wo n't work as hard to protect chad as you would . and , unlike them , you have it in your contract that you approve any changes to any article you write . so , if i decide to do something like -- will : reveal abigail 's name ? zoe : exactly . you can turn around and sue me and end up owning the whole magazine . so , think about what 'll be best for your friend chad . just do n't take too long . kate : clyde , there are n't many things that i 'm afraid of . clyde : which is just one more thing to like about you . kate : okay . look , we are both very busy people and , no offense , but do n't you think this is really just a waste of precious time . clyde : well , you did find time to come all the way to poplar bluff to look me up . kate : because i had good reason . clyde : because you were so concerned about tammy sue and your friend , rafe . kate : right . clyde : so let me ask you this , is he the reason you wo n't have lunch with me ? rafe : it 's just clear that you broke the three second rule , i definitely should 've gotten some free throws . sonny : you pitched a tent in the key . lucas : he was camping out in the key all day long . ben : you got ta pay a fee . lucas : we 'd a killed you guys . ben : are you kidding me ? rafe : talk about -- sonny : hey , hey , let 's let 'em think that if it 's gon na make 'em feel better . rafe : well it 's the truth , that 's all . sonny : all right , i 'm gon na get going . lucas : please , do n't go . ben : me too . sonny : now we 'll let the losers pay . it 's been fun . lucas : get out while you can . next time you 're mine , no freebies . rafe : hey ben , hold on a second . i 'm pretty sure that sonny did n't tell you that i was coming . i just wanted to say that it was cool that you came and played . ben : no , no , he told me . you do n't have to thank me . you think i 'd pass up a chance to knock you on your ass again ? never . never . rafe : that 's good , that 's silly -- alright , buddy , i got ta get going . lucas : what 's going on with you and ben ? guy played like you had a target on your back or something . rafe : well , you got ta respect a guy that sticks up for his sister . you should probably get the bill , you threw up quite a few bricks . lucas : yeah , yeah , thanks . yeah , take that with you . rafe : see ya , bud . lucas : all right . rafe : next time . lucas : all right . jordan : rafe did n't do anything stupid . he and i -- well , it just did n't work out . chad : sorry . jordan : well , hey , i got ta run . i 'm meeting someone for lunch . chad : enjoy . uh , maybe i 'll see you around . jordan : and thanks again for coming to my rescue . it was very gallant . chad : wow , gallant . i have n't been called that in a while . jennifer : so chad must 've been pretty angry . abigail : oh , yeah , he was -- he was angry , all right . jennifer : right , the guy who lies about having a brain tumor to get rid of the competition is up in arms -- abigail : ej 's his brother -- jennifer : how do you -- please ! as much as i wish that that whole affair had n't happened , why should it matter to him ? you broke it off with chad a year ago , you can see whoever you want . did he come back here to make you feel guilty ? abigail : well , he should n't have even bothered , i already feel guilty enough as it is . jennifer : honey , do n't say that . abigail : mom , i 've slept with two men in my whole life , and they 're brothers . jennifer : listen to me , you owe chad nothing . he used you and he lied about something so important . abigail : i know , and i gave him hell for that . i was so self - righteous about what chad did to me . and then slept with ej . the guy who helped him pull it off . roman : well , i did n't come here to yell at you . i came here because i love you . they told me how scared you were that stefano might find another way to come back to town now . let me ask you this , has he made any specific threats to you , something i can act on ? sami : dad , you know stefano , he 's smarter than that . god , i ca n't believe my ego . that i thought i could bring stefano dimera down with income tax evasion . roman : well , that is how they got al capone . sami : right , in the ' 30s . dad , we humiliated him , and now it 's public knowledge . roman : yeah , and stefano is all about his image -- no doubt about that . and to have two women bring him down , whew ! that has got to hurt poor , old stefano . as for me , i am very proud of both of you , and i wo n't forget that , as long as i live . sami : [ laughing ] thanks , dad . unfortunately , he 's not going to forget it , either . roman : well let me ask you this . if you 're scared , why are you all over the guy who was your other prime target ? is n't that playing right into ej 's hands ? kate : rafe and i are just friends , really good friends . clyde : well , i 'm glad to be set straight . but if you 're not pining away for him , there ought to be somebody else . beautiful woman like you , that 's criminal if you ask me . why is n't there someone in your life ? kate : that 's so nice of you to say that . but did it ever occur to you that maybe i 'm just not looking ? clyde : oh , i owe you an apology . kate : no , not necessary . clyde : and i 'm gon na make it up to you over dinner . kate : clyde , no . clyde : you said you were n't scared to share a meal with me . kate : well , i 'm not . clyde : lunch is out 'cause you 're too busy , that leaves dinner . kate : no , i just do n't think -- clyde : it 'll be painless , i promise . you might even get a laugh or two . come on , what are you so scared about ? oh , make me so happy . i 'll give you a holler as to when and where . kate : i did not agree to that . sami : daddy , our entire family has yelled at me that i am overreacting about what happened . roman : you always overreact , sami , that 's what you do . so do n't under - react now . okay ? now look , sweetheart , i know you 're scared , but -- wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . ej is telling you he 'll protect you from stefano , is n't he . and you believe that . sami : because it 's true . he will . he can , but that 's not why -- and it 's not why i married him . roman : well , you do remember that your mom and i did n't come to your wedding , right ? sami : i know , but it 's because you hate him . roman : yeah , 'cause we 'll never forget the things he 's done and we know he 'll never change . but when your mom and i heard what you did after you found out he cheated on you , we thought that you had finally figured that out too . sami : mom has some nerve , pointing the finger at ej , after what she did you . jennifer : does ben know about you and chad ? abigail : well he does now . jennifer : well i do n't think it 's going to be a problem because he seems like a really good guy . abigail : he is . yeah , he is a really good guy . and it 's nice to be with someone who 's uncomplicated . clyde : hey , whatcha doin ' ? ben : getting ready for the lunch crowd . clyde : looks like we can talk privately now , huh ? ben : about what ? clyde : this . open it . please . ej : chad ? chad : how 'd you know where to -- ej : you know , you and i need to get a couple of things straight . now . zoe : i do n't understand what the problem is . will you please just tell him zoë browning called ? yes . he is . okay , well then just tell him to return the call as soon as he is . no , no , no , no , no , no . no , no , i need you to make it happen . i am on a deadline . thank you . lucas : zoe browning ? zoe : what is it ? lucas : i do n't know , i was just wondering how you sleep at night . zoe : what is your problem ? lucas : my problem is what you did to my son , that 's my problem . zoe : who 's your son ? lucas : will horton . ring a bell ? nice guy -- great guy , actually . talented writer , full of integrity , and you used him to sell your lousy magazine , did n't you ? well thank god he does n't work for you anymore . thank god ! hello , are you even listening to me right now ? zoe : finally -- yes . lucas : finally what ? what is this ? zoe : just read it . sonny : will ? roman : we were talking about ej , not your mother . sami : we are talking about cheating . i wan na hear you tell me what you think the difference is , between what mom did to you and what ej did to me . roman : so you expect me to still go after your mom , after all these years , about that ? sami : i 'm just saying , it still hurts . roman : that was a long time -- yes . but i let it go . okay ? besides , this is a different situation . sami : you 're right . yes , i agree , it 's a different situation . mom was in love with john . ej did n't love abby . he still loves me . and i know it still hurts . but dad , let 's go back there , right ? if we went back to 1993 and mom had done this horrible thing to you and it hurt you . but she came back and she said she was wrong and she said she did n't love john , she loved you instead . and she wanted to get back together with you . are you seriously gon na tell me that you would n't have taken her back , that you would n't have wanted to be a family with your children ? are you gon na look me in the eye and tell me that you would n't have taken her back ? roman : under those circumstances , yes ! i would have . in a minute -- no doubt about it . okay ? you happy now ? ben : what 's all this money for ? bribe ? clyde : it 's your sisters . it 's the money she offered me to leave town . ben : it 's jordan 's life savings . clyde : i started feeling really bad about taking it . i knew i should 've ripped up the check right then and there , but you know , a man 's got his pride . ben : especially if he 's you . clyde : and mine was wounded so i cashed the check . but then i got to thinkin ' . i want her to have it back . would you give it to her ? abigail : hey , jordan , i 'm so sorry i 'm late . jordan : oh , i just got here . abigail : you okay ? jordan : i just ran into someone i used to know . someone i never expected to see again . abigail : i know the feeling . i ran into chad last night . he 's back in salem . jordan : i know . abigail : you do ? jordan : because i just ran into him , too . ej : now that you 're not waving a gun in my face , let me tell you something . chad , i am truly sorry for any hurt that i may have caused you . you had your moment , you 've got your power back , that is as far as this goes . chad : i see . so you decide that . ej : i have this chance to get back something that i very foolishly lost . now , if you do anything to prevent that from happening -- brother , no brother -- i 'll cut you down . lucas : so you 're the editor of sonix , and you 're taking will -- zoe : will is following me there , yes . lucas : why ? zoe : because i took one look at the editing staff at sonix and decided that we needed someone who was -- how 'd you put it ? uh , a good writer who had integrity . lucas : yeah look , about what i said before , all right -- zoe : about how much sleep i get . lucas : yeah , about that sleep thing . i did n't mean that at all . zoe : you 're afraid that some of the words that you said might have an impact on your son 's job . lucas : yeah , yeah a little bit . zoe : it 's okay . i hired the son , that 's not gon na change because the father is a horse 's ass . lucas : a what ? zoe : have a great day . sonny : i missed you on the basketball court today . will : do n't give me that , the text said you had ben sub for me . sonny : he 's a good guy but he 's no substitute for you . will : come on , the guy 's got major reach on me . sonny : yeah , but he does n't have your moves . both : [ laughing ] clyde : after the two of you left , and i found out tammy sue took my money , too , i was plenty mad . ben : yeah , i 'll bet . clyde : and i guess i was still mad when she tried to pay me back . then i started seeing the two of you again and it just hit me , how much i love you two . and all i want is to have you back in my life again . i know i got a lot of work to do before i can make that happen . i know that . and i 'm afraid that if i go to tammy sue now and try to give her back the money , it 'll just upset her . that 's why i 'm asking you to do it . ben : and when i get there i 'm just supposed to talk up how humble and sincere you were when you asked me . i 'm supposed to tell her how much of a changed man you are , right ? clyde : i do n't have any control over what comes out of your mouth when you talk about me , you can say whatever you want . but if it 's not too much to ask , would you please tell her i 'm sorry . jordan : did i say something wrong ? abigail : i 'm just confused , i do n't understand why you 're so upset about running into chad . i thought you guys did n't even know each other . jordan : oh , we do n't . that 's not who i was talking about . in fact , chad came along at just the right time and helped me out . abigail : oh , good . jordan : look , i do n't know anything about why the two of you broke up , but he seemed like a really nice guy , to me . abigail : he probably is a nice guy ... today . he got something off his chest . he vented all of his hatred at me . sami : i 'm sorry . you okay ? roman : yeah . yeah . i 'm okay , sure i am . look , i know you 're trying to make a point here , but come on , comparing your mother to ej , sami ? sami : i was n't doing that -- not really . roman : then what , exactly , were you doing ? sami : i guess i was just trying to say -- that you do n't get to decide who you love . but i know i do n't have to tell you that . i mean , you 're the man who fell in love with kate roberts . a wise man once told me , that `` when you do find true love , you better never take it for granted , 'cause you have to cherish it because it 's a gift . `` roman : you know what , that wise man who told you that , he probably had way too many beers . sami : uh - uh , he was sober . he 's right . he 's my daddy . chad : okay , so , let me make sure i have this right . so i took a bullet for you , and then i almost died . and then i left town and you jumped into the sack with the woman you knew i was still in love with . just for the hell of it . and now you want me to suck it up or you 'll cut me down ? ej : chad , i have apologized for what happened with abigail . and i 've told you , repeatedly , how much it meant to me that you saved my life . i have this chance to bring my family back together . i saw you sidling up to kate this morning , and i do n't know what you 're talking about , i do n't know what you 're planning , but whatever it is , i 'm putting you on notice : you better stop it . or you will regret it . chad : hmm . you know , i wonder what father would think of you threatening me . it might make him wonder what you 'd be willing to do , how far you 'd be willing to go , to get samantha back . see , i 'm kinda wondering that myself . ej : well you better pray to god you do n't find out . kate : so , what are you doing here ? roman : well , i was just at your house , obviously , you were not there . so -- by the way , i do like that new picture you and sami put up where stefano 's used to be . kate : oh yeah , yeah , well that was publicity 's idea . anyway , since you were at the house , did you have a chance to talk some sense into sami about ej ? roman : well , i , uh , tried . but sami reminded me of a couple things i 'd forgotten . kate : like what ? roman : for one , you ca n't always pick who you fall in love with . sonny : i still wish you could 've made it to the game today . will : oh , it 's probably a good thing i did n't . zoe showed up here . sonny : why ? will : uh , pick up my contract . sonny : she ca n't wait for you to put it in the mail ? will : well , she has another assignment for me . sonny : already ? that 's great , what 's it about ? will : chad . chad : hey , how 's it going ? ben : look buddy , unless you 're ordering , i do n't have anything to say to you . chad : oh , come on , benny . ben : after the way you spoke to abigail yesterday , you can just get the hell out of here , pal . chad : whew , well , is that any way to talk to your boss ? jordan : i ca n't believe chad hates you . abigail : you did n't see him last night . jordan : would you excuse me for a second ? i 'll be right back . abigail : wha -- ? uh , okay , sure . jordan : clyde ! yeah , you . rafe : hey , abigail . abigail : hi , hey rafe . how 's gabi doing ? i 've been thinking about her a lot . rafe : well , sonny and will took the baby to see her yesterday . yeah , she 's doing pretty well . abigail : good , i 'm glad . rafe : yeah . anyway , i talked to sonny after we played some basketball . lucas and me against sonny and ben . abigail : oh , really . rafe : yeah , evidently you 're dating a pretty good player . abigail : oh , am i ? rafe : yeah . abigail : well , i would n't know , he 's been holding out on me . rafe : oh , has he ? well -- so you here with your mom ? abigail : um , no , i 'm here with jordan , actually . rafe : oh . abigail : well , i was here with jordan . she got up all of the sudden and said she 'd be right back , and just kinda -- left . i do n't know why . clyde : hey sweetheart , i was just talking to -- jordan : do n't sweetheart me . what the hell is jeremiah doing in salem ? ej : samantha ? your father ? i 'm sorry . sami : [ sobbing ] ej : i 'm so sorry . | roman was upset when he saw sami and ej kissing . roman wondered if she was desperate . chad saved jordan from the guy who grabbed her . zoë wanted will to write a story about chad . will did n't want to write a story about his friend . he also wondered how he was going to write it when chad was thousands of miles away . jordan told chad about her past . zoë told will that chad was back in salem . zoë tried to convince will that it was a good idea for him to write the article since he knows chad . she wanted to give will some time to think about it before he made a decision . roman advised sami not to be with ej again . | <s>[INST] sonny : that was pretty smart . i was pretty smart , was n't i , guys ?

lucas : yeah , i guess so . hey listen , before they come back there 's something i want to ask you . ben : okay . lucas : it 's about your sister . jeremiah : i do n't mean any harm . i just want to talk to you . chad : did n't you hear the lady ? she does n't want to talk to you . jeremiah : mind you own business , son . keep walking . chad : i 'm not your son . and i 'm not going anywhere . clyde : that help you gave me ? that connection ? that worked out real well . kate : great . clyde : seems only right to give you a proper thank you . kate : oh , no . that 's not necessary . clyde : well i think it is . so i 'm going to buy you some lunch . for starters . kate : first , i am totally swamped at work today so i will most likely be having my lunch at my desk . um , but more importantly , i think somehow i have given you the wrong idea . clyde : well , you 're a lady executive and i 'm just a guy from the sticks , but i think people are the same everywhere . and women are women . kate : what do you mean by that ? clyde : that i do n't believe for one second i got the wrong idea . jennifer : jj left early , but he did n't even get back before i went to bed last night . abigail : yeah , i did n't see him either . jennifer : you okay ? abigail : yeah , i guess it kinda depends on your definition of okay . jennifer : what ? abigail : chad is back . roman : what the hell ? sami , are you out of your mind ? will : game is over , do n't bother coming . sorry . so much for that idea . [ knocking on door ] will : hi . zoe : you headed out to the gym or something ? will : actually , i was gon na go play a pickup basketball game but i just found out i missed it . zoe : good . will : i did n't know magazine editors made house calls . zoe : well they do when they need a signed contract . where is it ? will : what 's the rush ? zoe : i have a new assignment for you . it 's a profile piece . will : who 's the subject ? zoe : chad dimera . jeremiah : just who the hell do you think you are ? chad : well , my friends call me chad -- jeremiah : what kinda name is that ? chad : but you can call me mr. dimera . i 'm the guy who 's telling you : leave this girl alone . jeremiah : you got the wrong idea . her and i are old friends . we go way back , do n't we tammy sue ? i just wanted to say hello . chad : and now you have . jeremiah : you take care , now . chad : i hope i did n't barge in . i just did not like the way that guy was talking to you . jordan : i did n't like it , either . thank you . chad : i remember you . we have n't been introduced , but i thought your name was jordan . sonny : will and i took ari to see gabi yesterday . rafe : oh , thanks , man . bet that meant the world to her . sonny : got some pictures . rafe : yeah ? sonny : uh - huh , see . rafe : aw . see . i do n't know how she does it -- she still manages to smile , even when she 's going through hell . god , i worry about her . sonny : person she 's worried about is you . ben : want to talk about jordan ? what about her ? lucas : well , it 's just , uh , i heard jordan and rafe broke up . ben : yeah . lucas : yeah , it 's too bad because , you know , they 're both really great people and i thought it would work out between them . ben : oh . lucas : do you think it still could ? ben : what 's this about ? are you asking me if you can take my sister out ? kate : well , um , you may be very adept at reading women , but if you are sensing any interest coming from me , then i think you may want to have your meter checked . clyde : oh , if i 've given you offense , i 'm so sorry . kate : offense . no , no , do n't be silly . women just adore the phrase , `` women are women . `` we respond so well to that . clyde : oh . well -- what i was trying to say is that , where i 'm from you learn , pretty early on , that you ca n't always trust everything that comes out of a person 's mouth . kate : even so , do n't you think you oughta have some respect for it ? clyde : oh , yes ma'am . but what i trust is what i see in their eyes . now , maybe the question here is n't whether or not you 're interested , maybe the question is , um -- kate : what ? clyde : well , you say you 're so swamped at work that you ca n't have lunch with me . but kate , you run a cosmetics company , right ? you and i both know that if you go out to lunch , women everywhere certainly are n't gon na run out of lipstick . right ? so it makes me wonder , is there some other reason you 're too afraid to share a simple meal with me ? roman : you know what , sami , people told me that maybe you were over the top , going after him the way you did when you found out he cheated on you . you know what i said ? `` no . `` i said i thought you got it about right . i said i thought you had finally figured out who you got involved with . ej : she 's involved with a man who loves her , roman , and who has always loved her . roman : and you show your love by sleeping with another woman . i do n't even want to think what you 'd do if you actually hated my daughter . sami , please , tell me you are not this desperate . will : we have been over this . zoe : and i agreed not to ask you to write about your family . did you turn into a dimera when i was n't looking ? will : my mother is married to chad 's brother . zoe : yeah , legally . that does n't make him family . will : oh , you are splitting hairs . besides , he is my husband 's business partner . zoe : the man is a dimera . our readership loves to read about them . our sales numbers prove it . will : even so , chad , he has no power at dimera enterprises . zoe : ah , but his brother -- the brother that he took a bullet for -- slept with his ex . he grew up thinking that he was the son of a judge and the d.a . then he finds out that he is the biological son of stefano dimera and his mother died in a tragic accident . tell me that that 's not a cover story . will : even so , i have not spoken to chad since he left . he 's thousands of miles away . zoe : not anymore . he 's back . jennifer : chad is back ? how do you know that , did someone tell you ? abigail : i wish . i was at the square , i was waiting ben , and then chad just walked by . jennifer : how did that go ? abigail : it was good , at first , actually , but he was just biding his time . jennifer : he 'd read the article ? abigail : yep . sami sent it to him . jennifer : is there no end to what that woman will do ? abigail : i do n't know . but chad knows all about ej and me , now . he said there 's no one i could 've picked that would 've hurt him more . jordan : i grew up being tammy sue but i never really liked my name . chad : jordan suits you . jordan : thanks . chad : so , did you grow up in the south , like that guy ? jordan : we lived in the same town , but i managed to lose my accent when i left . chad : and what 's he doin ' here ? jordan : i did n't ask . how are you doing ? chad : okay . jordan : i mean , the night we saw each other at the club it was right before you got shot . it must 've been hard to come back here . chad : sort of . yeah , but i 'm back now . how 's rafe ? jordan : fully recovered . chad : oh , that 's great . jordan : yeah , it is . chad : and were n't you and he -- jordan : uh , yeah -- but not anymore . chad : really ? well , i thought he was smarter than that . rafe : well , i 'll make sure that gabi knows that she does n't have to worry about me . i 'm just fine . sonny : she blames herself for what happened with you and jordan . rafe : what ? no , that 's ridiculous . and i will set her straight . there 's only one guy who 's responsible for screwing things up between jordan and me . you 're looking at him . lucas : you know , if i was interested in taking your sister out , i 'd probably ask her myself . i was just hoping to hear she was okay . ben : seems like you 're hoping for something else . lucas : no . no , i 've been the rebound guy a few times in my life , um , i do n't want to be that guy again . roman : see , i did n't come here to have a scene with you , i came to talk to my daughter about something else . ej : so next time , here 's a thought : call before you come over , and then you wo n't have to see things you do n't wish to see . sami : okay , uh , ej , hey , um , how 'bout we let me talk to my dad for a little bit . just the two of us -- okay . ej : okay . if you need me for anything i 'll be back here in an instant . sami : all right , dad , let me have it . will : chad 's back ? you know that for sure ? zoe : one of my stringers was on his flight last night . will : and you want to use what he 's been through to sell magazines . zoe : you catch on quick . will : the guy is my friend . zoe : oh come on , you just said you have n't talked to him since he left . that was like a year ago . was n't chad dimera the guy who outed you at your own wedding ? will : you should run that through a fact - checker , because that is no where near being accurate . zoe : right . he said that the groom was n't the father of the bride 's baby , you were . which is even better . our readers will eat that up . will : oh , so i should just be okay with pimping out my personal life for the magazine . zoe : is n't that what you did when you wrote about your mother ? will : i learned from my mistake . zoe : okay . fine . this is a great story , but if you have a problem with writing it , then i 'll give you a pass . will : that 's what my deal is . zoe : but , there is going to be an article about chad , whether you like it or not , and i have a whole stable of writers who are dying for an assignment like this . and maybe they wo n't work as hard to protect chad as you would . and , unlike them , you have it in your contract that you approve any changes to any article you write . so , if i decide to do something like -- will : reveal abigail 's name ? zoe : exactly . you can turn around and sue me and end up owning the whole magazine . so , think about what 'll be best for your friend chad . just do n't take too long . kate : clyde , there are n't many things that i 'm afraid of . clyde : which is just one more thing to like about you . kate : okay . look , we are both very busy people and , no offense , but do n't you think this is really just a waste of precious time . clyde : well , you did find time to come all the way to poplar bluff to look me up . kate : because i had good reason . clyde : because you were so concerned about tammy sue and your friend , rafe . kate : right . clyde : so let me ask you this , is he the reason you wo n't have lunch with me ? rafe : it 's just clear that you broke the three second rule , i definitely should 've gotten some free throws . sonny : you pitched a tent in the key . lucas : he was camping out in the key all day long . ben : you got ta pay a fee . lucas : we 'd a killed you guys . ben : are you kidding me ? rafe : talk about -- sonny : hey , hey , let 's let 'em think that if it 's gon na make 'em feel better . rafe : well it 's the truth , that 's all . sonny : all right , i 'm gon na get going . lucas : please , do n't go . ben : me too . sonny : now we 'll let the losers pay . it 's been fun . lucas : get out while you can . next time you 're mine , no freebies . rafe : hey ben , hold on a second . i 'm pretty sure that sonny did n't tell you that i was coming . i just wanted to say that it was cool that you came and played . ben : no , no , he told me . you do n't have to thank me . you think i 'd pass up a chance to knock you on your ass again ? never . never . rafe : that 's good , that 's silly -- alright , buddy , i got ta get going . lucas : what 's going on with you and ben ? guy played like you had a target on your back or something . rafe : well , you got ta respect a guy that sticks up for his sister . you should probably get the bill , you threw up quite a few bricks . lucas : yeah , yeah , thanks . yeah , take that with you . rafe : see ya , bud . lucas : all right . rafe : next time . lucas : all right . jordan : rafe did n't do anything stupid . he and i -- well , it just did n't work out . chad : sorry . jordan : well , hey , i got ta run . i 'm meeting someone for lunch . chad : enjoy . uh , maybe i 'll see you around . jordan : and thanks again for coming to my rescue . it was very gallant . chad : wow , gallant . i have n't been called that in a while . jennifer : so chad must 've been pretty angry . abigail : oh , yeah , he was -- he was angry , all right . jennifer : right , the guy who lies about having a brain tumor to get rid of the competition is up in arms -- abigail : ej 's his brother -- jennifer : how do you -- please ! as much as i wish that that whole affair had n't happened , why should it matter to him ? you broke it off with chad a year ago , you can see whoever you want . did he come back here to make you feel guilty ? abigail : well , he should n't have even bothered , i already feel guilty enough as it is . jennifer : honey , do n't say that . abigail : mom , i 've slept with two men in my whole life , and they 're brothers . jennifer : listen to me , you owe chad nothing . he used you and he lied about something so important . abigail : i know , and i gave him hell for that . i was so self - righteous about what chad did to me . and then slept with ej . the guy who helped him pull it off . roman : well , i did n't come here to yell at you . i came here because i love you . they told me how scared you were that stefano might find another way to come back to town now . let me ask you this , has he made any specific threats to you , something i can act on ? sami : dad , you know stefano , he 's smarter than that . god , i ca n't believe my ego . that i thought i could bring stefano dimera down with income tax evasion . roman : well , that is how they got al capone . sami : right , in the ' 30s . dad , we humiliated him , and now it 's public knowledge . roman : yeah , and stefano is all about his image -- no doubt about that . and to have two women bring him down , whew ! that has got to hurt poor , old stefano . as for me , i am very proud of both of you , and i wo n't forget that , as long as i live . sami : [ laughing ] thanks , dad . unfortunately , he 's not going to forget it , either . roman : well let me ask you this . if you 're scared , why are you all over the guy who was your other prime target ? is n't that playing right into ej 's hands ? kate : rafe and i are just friends , really good friends . clyde : well , i 'm glad to be set straight . but if you 're not pining away for him , there ought to be somebody else . beautiful woman like you , that 's criminal if you ask me . why is n't there someone in your life ? kate : that 's so nice of you to say that . but did it ever occur to you that maybe i 'm just not looking ? clyde : oh , i owe you an apology . kate : no , not necessary . clyde : and i 'm gon na make it up to you over dinner . kate : clyde , no . clyde : you said you were n't scared to share a meal with me . kate : well , i 'm not . clyde : lunch is out 'cause you 're too busy , that leaves dinner . kate : no , i just do n't think -- clyde : it 'll be painless , i promise . you might even get a laugh or two . come on , what are you so scared about ? oh , make me so happy . i 'll give you a holler as to when and where . kate : i did not agree to that . sami : daddy , our entire family has yelled at me that i am overreacting about what happened . roman : you always overreact , sami , that 's what you do . so do n't under - react now . okay ? now look , sweetheart , i know you 're scared , but -- wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . ej is telling you he 'll protect you from stefano , is n't he . and you believe that . sami : because it 's true . he will . he can , but that 's not why -- and it 's not why i married him . roman : well , you do remember that your mom and i did n't come to your wedding , right ? sami : i know , but it 's because you hate him . roman : yeah , 'cause we 'll never forget the things he 's done and we know he 'll never change . but when your mom and i heard what you did after you found out he cheated on you , we thought that you had finally figured that out too . sami : mom has some nerve , pointing the finger at ej , after what she did you . jennifer : does ben know about you and chad ? abigail : well he does now . jennifer : well i do n't think it 's going to be a problem because he seems like a really good guy . abigail : he is . yeah , he is a really good guy . and it 's nice to be with someone who 's uncomplicated . clyde : hey , whatcha doin ' ? ben : getting ready for the lunch crowd . clyde : looks like we can talk privately now , huh ? ben : about what ? clyde : this . open it . please . ej : chad ? chad : how 'd you know where to -- ej : you know , you and i need to get a couple of things straight . now . zoe : i do n't understand what the problem is . will you please just tell him zoë browning called ? yes . he is . okay , well then just tell him to return the call as soon as he is . no , no , no , no , no , no . no , no , i need you to make it happen . i am on a deadline . thank you . lucas : zoe browning ? zoe : what is it ? lucas : i do n't know , i was just wondering how you sleep at night . zoe : what is your problem ? lucas : my problem is what you did to my son , that 's my problem . zoe : who 's your son ? lucas : will horton . ring a bell ? nice guy -- great guy , actually . talented writer , full of integrity , and you used him to sell your lousy magazine , did n't you ? well thank god he does n't work for you anymore . thank god ! hello , are you even listening to me right now ? zoe : finally -- yes . lucas : finally what ? what is this ? zoe : just read it . sonny : will ? roman : we were talking about ej , not your mother . sami : we are talking about cheating . i wan na hear you tell me what you think the difference is , between what mom did to you and what ej did to me . roman : so you expect me to still go after your mom , after all these years , about that ? sami : i 'm just saying , it still hurts . roman : that was a long time -- yes . but i let it go . okay ? besides , this is a different situation . sami : you 're right . yes , i agree , it 's a different situation . mom was in love with john . ej did n't love abby . he still loves me . and i know it still hurts . but dad , let 's go back there , right ? if we went back to 1993 and mom had done this horrible thing to you and it hurt you . but she came back and she said she was wrong and she said she did n't love john , she loved you instead . and she wanted to get back together with you . are you seriously gon na tell me that you would n't have taken her back , that you would n't have wanted to be a family with your children ? are you gon na look me in the eye and tell me that you would n't have taken her back ? roman : under those circumstances , yes ! i would have . in a minute -- no doubt about it . okay ? you happy now ? ben : what 's all this money for ? bribe ? clyde : it 's your sisters . it 's the money she offered me to leave town . ben : it 's jordan 's life savings . clyde : i started feeling really bad about taking it . i knew i should 've ripped up the check right then and there , but you know , a man 's got his pride . ben : especially if he 's you . clyde : and mine was wounded so i cashed the check . but then i got to thinkin ' . i want her to have it back . would you give it to her ? abigail : hey , jordan , i 'm so sorry i 'm late . jordan : oh , i just got here . abigail : you okay ? jordan : i just ran into someone i used to know . someone i never expected to see again . abigail : i know the feeling . i ran into chad last night . he 's back in salem . jordan : i know . abigail : you do ? jordan : because i just ran into him , too . ej : now that you 're not waving a gun in my face , let me tell you something . chad , i am truly sorry for any hurt that i may have caused you . you had your moment , you 've got your power back , that is as far as this goes . chad : i see . so you decide that . ej : i have this chance to get back something that i very foolishly lost . now , if you do anything to prevent that from happening -- brother , no brother -- i 'll cut you down . lucas : so you 're the editor of sonix , and you 're taking will -- zoe : will is following me there , yes . lucas : why ? zoe : because i took one look at the editing staff at sonix and decided that we needed someone who was -- how 'd you put it ? uh , a good writer who had integrity . lucas : yeah look , about what i said before , all right -- zoe : about how much sleep i get . lucas : yeah , about that sleep thing . i did n't mean that at all . zoe : you 're afraid that some of the words that you said might have an impact on your son 's job . lucas : yeah , yeah a little bit . zoe : it 's okay . i hired the son , that 's not gon na change because the father is a horse 's ass . lucas : a what ? zoe : have a great day . sonny : i missed you on the basketball court today . will : do n't give me that , the text said you had ben sub for me . sonny : he 's a good guy but he 's no substitute for you . will : come on , the guy 's got major reach on me . sonny : yeah , but he does n't have your moves . both : [ laughing ] clyde : after the two of you left , and i found out tammy sue took my money , too , i was plenty mad . ben : yeah , i 'll bet . clyde : and i guess i was still mad when she tried to pay me back . then i started seeing the two of you again and it just hit me , how much i love you two . and all i want is to have you back in my life again . i know i got a lot of work to do before i can make that happen . i know that . and i 'm afraid that if i go to tammy sue now and try to give her back the money , it 'll just upset her . that 's why i 'm asking you to do it . ben : and when i get there i 'm just supposed to talk up how humble and sincere you were when you asked me . i 'm supposed to tell her how much of a changed man you are , right ? clyde : i do n't have any control over what comes out of your mouth when you talk about me , you can say whatever you want . but if it 's not too much to ask , would you please tell her i 'm sorry . jordan : did i say something wrong ? abigail : i 'm just confused , i do n't understand why you 're so upset about running into chad . i thought you guys did n't even know each other . jordan : oh , we do n't . that 's not who i was talking about . in fact , chad came along at just the right time and helped me out . abigail : oh , good . jordan : look , i do n't know anything about why the two of you broke up , but he seemed like a really nice guy , to me . abigail : he probably is a nice guy ... today . he got something off his chest . he vented all of his hatred at me . sami : i 'm sorry . you okay ? roman : yeah . yeah . i 'm okay , sure i am . look , i know you 're trying to make a point here , but come on , comparing your mother to ej , sami ? sami : i was n't doing that -- not really . roman : then what , exactly , were you doing ? sami : i guess i was just trying to say -- that you do n't get to decide who you love . but i know i do n't have to tell you that . i mean , you 're the man who fell in love with kate roberts . a wise man once told me , that `` when you do find true love , you better never take it for granted , 'cause you have to cherish it because it 's a gift . `` roman : you know what , that wise man who told you that , he probably had way too many beers . sami : uh - uh , he was sober . he 's right . he 's my daddy . chad : okay , so , let me make sure i have this right . so i took a bullet for you , and then i almost died . and then i left town and you jumped into the sack with the woman you knew i was still in love with . just for the hell of it . and now you want me to suck it up or you 'll cut me down ? ej : chad , i have apologized for what happened with abigail . and i 've told you , repeatedly , how much it meant to me that you saved my life . i have this chance to bring my family back together . i saw you sidling up to kate this morning , and i do n't know what you 're talking about , i do n't know what you 're planning , but whatever it is , i 'm putting you on notice : you better stop it . or you will regret it . chad : hmm . you know , i wonder what father would think of you threatening me . it might make him wonder what you 'd be willing to do , how far you 'd be willing to go , to get samantha back . see , i 'm kinda wondering that myself . ej : well you better pray to god you do n't find out . kate : so , what are you doing here ? roman : well , i was just at your house , obviously , you were not there . so -- by the way , i do like that new picture you and sami put up where stefano 's used to be . kate : oh yeah , yeah , well that was publicity 's idea . anyway , since you were at the house , did you have a chance to talk some sense into sami about ej ? roman : well , i , uh , tried . but sami reminded me of a couple things i 'd forgotten . kate : like what ? roman : for one , you ca n't always pick who you fall in love with . sonny : i still wish you could 've made it to the game today . will : oh , it 's probably a good thing i did n't . zoe showed up here . sonny : why ? will : uh , pick up my contract . sonny : she ca n't wait for you to put it in the mail ? will : well , she has another assignment for me . sonny : already ? that 's great , what 's it about ? will : chad . chad : hey , how 's it going ? ben : look buddy , unless you 're ordering , i do n't have anything to say to you . chad : oh , come on , benny . ben : after the way you spoke to abigail yesterday , you can just get the hell out of here , pal . chad : whew , well , is that any way to talk to your boss ? jordan : i ca n't believe chad hates you . abigail : you did n't see him last night . jordan : would you excuse me for a second ? i 'll be right back . abigail : wha -- ? uh , okay , sure . jordan : clyde ! yeah , you . rafe : hey , abigail . abigail : hi , hey rafe . how 's gabi doing ? i 've been thinking about her a lot . rafe : well , sonny and will took the baby to see her yesterday . yeah , she 's doing pretty well . abigail : good , i 'm glad . rafe : yeah . anyway , i talked to sonny after we played some basketball . lucas and me against sonny and ben . abigail : oh , really . rafe : yeah , evidently you 're dating a pretty good player . abigail : oh , am i ? rafe : yeah . abigail : well , i would n't know , he 's been holding out on me . rafe : oh , has he ? well -- so you here with your mom ? abigail : um , no , i 'm here with jordan , actually . rafe : oh . abigail : well , i was here with jordan . she got up all of the sudden and said she 'd be right back , and just kinda -- left . i do n't know why . clyde : hey sweetheart , i was just talking to -- jordan : do n't sweetheart me . what the hell is jeremiah doing in salem ? ej : samantha ? your father ? i 'm sorry . sami : [ sobbing ] ej : i 'm so sorry .Summarize.[/INST]roman was upset when he saw sami and ej kissing . roman wondered if she was desperate . chad saved jordan from the guy who grabbed her . zoë wanted will to write a story about chad . will did n't want to write a story about his friend . he also wondered how he was going to write it when chad was thousands of miles away . jordan told chad about her past . zoë told will that chad was back in salem . zoë tried to convince will that it was a good idea for him to write the article since he knows chad . she wanted to give will some time to think about it before he made a decision . roman advised sami not to be with ej again .</s> | 8,538 |
sofie : i ca n't believe you 're here , cole . cole : why not ? you called me . you told me the baby was sick and you needed me . of course , i 'm here . gwen : well , you 're a little too late . we 've already taken care of everything . will : why do n't you go back where you came from ? cause we do n't need your help . cole : look , i know i was a real jerk before . but i 've had a lot of time to think about it . i 've grown up a lot , sofie . i want you to know that . i 'm the baby 's father , and i realize that i need to be more responsible . so , i 'm not going anywhere .

[ scene_break ] skye : heather managed to trick edward into marrying her , and you 're just now mentioning it ? dillon : yeah , it 's not exactly like i like to think about it , and there 's nothing anybody can do . i mean , my mom already tried . and the fact of the matter is my grandfather 's a grown guy , ok ? if he wants to marry a gold digger or whatever , he 's welcome to . skye : edward adored lila . heather 's no substitute . this has to be about him being overcome by grief , and that -- that heather is taking advantage of him , that evil witch . luke : which evil witch ? skye : heather webber . she manipulated edward into marrying her . luke : you do n't say ? skye : do n't tell me you 're actually happy about this sham of a marriage . dillon : yeah , dude , ripping off my family is one thing . being happy that my grandfather is marrying a fortune - hunter ? kind of cold . luke : look , i could care less who eddie spends his nights with unless it serves us , and this just might . skye : how ? luke : well , heather snaked her way into a fortune here . and she 's pretty smart . she 's not going to let go of it easily . in fact , i wager by the end of the week , she 'll have control of ed 's checkbook . skye : i still do n't see how this is cause for celebration . luke : it could be . it could be if she is the source of the income that we need to clear your name , and she will be that if i can convince her .

[ door closes ] noah : [ sighs ] what about you ? are you just leaving , too ? billy : i do n't think i can sit through another round of jack 's lame explanations . ash , welcome back . ashley : thank you . phyllis : i take it you heard about adam . ashley : oh , yeah . abby filled me in on the basics , including the fact that you knew about adam 's masquerade from the very beginning . jack : i kept quiet to protect billy . ashley : this ought to be good . jack : adam led me to believe that billy shot him in cold blood the night of their car wreck . i did n't want our brother to wind up in prison . phyllis : adam conveniently omitted the fact that they were both struggling over the gun . ashley : so , the shooting was an accident ? phyllis : which adam was decent enough to admit to the police . billy is off the hook . jack : i thought , though , at the time , that adam held something significant over billy 's head . it 's possible i misunderstood what adam said , that i misinter -- phyllis : it is more possible that adam was lying . you let yourself be persuaded because you thought you were doing the right thing by keeping a secret , period . jack : i realize billy is emotionally unprepared to deal with this right now . ashley : well , for good reason , jack . you 've made some really questionable choices , do n't you think ? jack : i 'm not the only one . do you have any idea what billy 's been doing while you 've been gone ? nick : why ca n't you go home with me ? sage : you know why . nick : look , that was an emotional argument . and i said some terrible things to you . sage : well , you were in shock , nick , because of what i kept from you . and i apologize , but i ca n't keep doing that to you . nick : sage , i love you . you 're my wife . and you are my son 's mother , and we need you . and i want us to be together , all of us , the way we dreamed about . that is , if you can forgive me . sage : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] you had every right to be angry , nick . and the fact that you 're willing to forgive me right now is not something that i take lightly . i was so afraid of losing you , and that 's why i did n't tell you the truth about adam . because i wanted us to stay together and raise our child and be married . that means everything to me . which is why it 's very difficult for me to tell you this . nick : tell me what ? sage : i ca n't go home with you now . i know you should be there , because faith needs you , especially when sharon 's away . but i need to be here . i need to be with christian , and wild horses could not drag me away from this . nick : i understand . jack : billy snatched up almost every company this paragon virus cut loose from newman . cosmetics is not the only industry we 're involved in anymore . and i 'm not too pleased about that . ashley : well , i 'm very pleased . which was why i gave him the green light for every single acquisition that he made . both : what ? phyllis : you knew ? ashley : of course i knew , phyllis . i 'm the c.e.o . of the company . and at least billy understands that i 'm in charge , even if you do n't , jack . jack : you were aware of all of this ? ashley : you know what ? this is a plum opportunity for us to become a multinational , jack . it puts jabot on the map with multiple industries virtually overnight . jack : so , now you think you can out - victor victor ? ashley : i know i can , even if you do n't . and , billy , you should be commended . he knew exactly which companies should be cherry - picked . billy : well , nice to know at least one of my siblings trusts me . jack : this is n't about trust . this is about business judgment , or lack thereof , and i seriously question whether what was best for jabot was your prime motivation in these acquisitions . ashley : and now you 're questioning my judgment . why am i not surprised ? but guess what . now that i 'm back , i 'm going to happily keep scooping up every single one of those juicy paragon windfalls . jack : no , ash , that is the biggest mistake you could make right now . marisa : i was headed out of town and out of your life when i was ... hit over the head , so ... [ sighs ] i would be leaving genoa city right now , but the doctors have forbidden me to travel just yet . noah : so , when will you be ready to go ? marisa : [ clears throat ] as soon as i pass my follow - up exam . if the doctor says i 'm well enough , i 'll be gone . then you can ... forget all about me . noah : i really do n't think that 's possible . marisa : you should try , noah . noah : who are you calling ? marisa : a taxi to take me to the hotel . noah : do n't worry about it . i 'll take you back to my place . marisa : to the hotel ? noah : right . to the hotel . gwen : neil . neil : yeah ? dr. neville : uh , i 'm dr . neville . neil : call me neil , please . dr. neville : neil , uh , yes . well , gwen has described your need for discretion . i understand . obviously privacy is a concern . i can respect that . neil : well , thank you . uh , i appreciate you coming all the way down here . i do . but let me make something very clear to you . i 'm willing to pay you whatever you want . dr. neville : well , that 's good to know . although i 've always been more interested in the challenge of medicine than the size of my paycheck . so , uh , what seems to be the trouble ? neil : no , i - i 'm not the one who needs the help . dr. neville : well , then , i do n't understand . gwen : when i said my boyfriend was dealing with some medical issues , um , i did n't mean his issues . neil : this is the patient . dr. neville : my god . that woman 's been all over the news . whatever the hell is going on here , i think i need to call the police . neil : hold on a minute , doc . doc , no . you ca n't call the police . dr. neville : this woman has been all over the news . a man has been accused of her murder . neil : and that man is my son . dr. neville : your -- well , i do n't think i want any part of this . gwen : doctor , please . before you go , just let neil explain . neil : this lady -- her name is hilary hamilton . she fell . she was knocked unconscious . that 's how i found her , and i know this sounds crazy , but i - i brought her back here . i thought i could nurse her back to health . i thought that this would all end very quickly . but it has n't . you see , i need this woman to wake up because unless she can speak for herself , everyone 's gon na think that i 'm responsible for this . and i am praying that she 's not beyond hope . dr. neville : well , i 'm cured more than my share of hopeless cases . neil : she does n't just need medical attention . she needs the best medical attention . now , can you help us ? nick : sharon was pretty adamant about not leaving noah when he was in the nicu , but ... you got to get your rest , sage . [ door opens ] susan : sign these papers and you can be on your way . nick : look ... the hospital can not keep you here if you 're well enough to leave . sage : i understand that , but i 'm not going to leave my child overnight by himself . nick : he 's not gon na be by himself . he 's got susan and -- and the rest of the nurses and doctors . this is the best place in the world for him . sage : ca n't i just sit in this chair day and night ? i 'm not going to leave my baby . susan : we do have family quarters . for a few nights , anyway . nick : that sounds like it would be perfect . how does that sound to you ? sage : i would really appreciate it if you 'd arrange that for me . susan : i 'll go see what 's available . sage : thank you . nick : thank you . [ door opens , closes ] sage : i know you think i 'm nuts . nick : no . you 're just doing what any mother would do . besides , it 'll give me more time to get everything ready . sage : [ sighs ] all we have is the crib assembled . we have so much to do . nick : it 'll get done . and when our little guy comes home , everything will be ready . sage : how did i get so lucky ? nick : we 're all lucky . and that 's gon na stay that way . dr. anderson : i understand you 've been questioning the medication i 've prescribed for sharon newman . patty : i just thought -- well , she has n't really seemed the same since you started her on it , that 's all . dr. anderson : patty , you should know from personal experience that patients have good days and bad days . now , it 's lovely that you care about your fellow patients . but i want you to concentrate on your own recovery and trust that sharon and all the other patients here at fairview are in good hands . can you do that ? patty : yeah . of course . dr. anderson : good . i 'm glad we talked . [ door opens , closes ] dylan : if you 're this tired , maybe you should go lie down for a while or , i do n't know , tell the doctor . sharon : no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i - i want to hear about your search for , um -- um ... hilary . dylan : are you sure you 're okay ? sharon : yes , i 'm fine . i 'm just tired . tell me . i want to -- i want to hear about hilary . dylan : uh , things really have n't worked out the way we 've hoped , at least not yet . sharon : hmm . dylan : sharon . sharon : my mouth 's dry . dylan : okay . i 'll -- i 'll get you some water . [ sighs ] oh , excuse me . i just wanted to talk to you for a second . dr. anderson : sure . what about ? dylan : um ... last time i was here , sharon seemed so clear - headed , and she was talking about coming home . and now she 's confused , she 's out of it , and she seems a lot worse than before . what happened ? is there something i should know ? dr. anderson : i 'm afraid your fiancée has n't been honest with you , dylan . dr. anderson : sharon 's been telling you and the rest of her family that she 's coming home soon because she knows that 's what you want to hear . but i 'm afraid that 's not accurate . dylan : what ? i do n't understand . the only reason she checked herself into this place is to get her medication straightened out . dr. anderson : and that 's what we 're doing . dylan : is it working or not ? dr. anderson : finding the right combination can take some patience , and we have to be especially careful because of her condition . dylan : her pregnancy , you mean . dr. anderson : i believe we 're on the right track here . now , there are some side effects . fatigue is one of them . it may just take some time for sharon to get used to her new prescription . but she will . i 'm confident of that . everything is going exactly as it should . dylan : [ sighs ] okay . well , thank you for explaining that . dr. anderson : you 're welcome . dylan : hey . here 's your water . sharon : oh , thank you . maybe i will just go lay down for a while . dylan : okay . that 's a good idea . i 'll check in with you later . sharon : okay . marisa : [ sighs ] noah : do you have everything you need ? marisa : i 'm supposed to rest , and i have a bed , so yeah . you do n't have to stay . noah : what if i want to stay ? marisa : i - i do n't think that 's a good idea , noah . noah : look , the person who attacked you -- if they were targeting you specifically -- marisa : i was alone at night outside . i 'll be fine here . i promise to double- lock the doors . i , um -- i appreciate you giving me a ride here , but you should go now . noah : why are you so eager to get rid of me ? marisa : because the longer you stay , the harder it will be for me to say goodbye to you . jack : watching victor 's empire crumble should be reward enough for all of us . why do we have to kick a man while he 's down ? billy : you 're taking the moral high ground ? that is hilarious coming from you , considering the fact that if you had just told us about adam to begin with , he never would have been able to destroy newman . phyllis : we 're not gon na do this here , all right ? jack : how do you think dad would feel about this ? you think he would want to antagonize victor ? ha - have n't we had enough of this ? ashley : we 're not doing anything illegal , jack . and you know damn well if the shoe was on the other foot , victor would n't hesitate . since when did you become such a softie ? jack : since i saw how out of control this war can get , ash . billy : yadda , yadda , yadda . heard all this before . ashley : yeah , you 're right , billy . we 're just going around in circles , are n't we ? would you mind coming with me ? i 'd like you to show me something . billy : gladly . jack . phyllis . phyllis : that went well . jack : i - i hate that we are at sword points about this . thank god you understand . phyllis : frankly , jack , i 'm not so sure i do . dr. neville : this is a far more complex situation than i was led to believe . neil : i am in over my head . i told you once -- i 'll pay you whatever you want . dr. neville : as i said before , it 's not about the money . gwen : it 's about the challenge . dr. neville : that 's exactly right . i 'll do whatever 's necessary to help a patient , even if it means bending the rules . neil : that 's exactly what i 'm asking you to do . doctor , you 're in the business of saving people . this woman needs saving . i 'm desperate to have that happen . so is the rest of my family . so , the question is can you help my daughter - in- law ? will you help her ? marisa : why are you still here ? you were so mad at me for lying , you walked out on me . nothing 's changed . noah : i 'm still upset about marco ... and the fact that you neglected to tell me that you have a husband . but it just does n't change the way that i feel about you . i ca n't stop thinking about you . marisa : well , you should try . i 'll be gone soon . i was on my way out of town . noah : i wish that you had n't gotten hurt . but i 'm not sorry that you stayed in genoa city . marisa : noah , you should leave . noah : i ca n't . billy : it 's a ginkgo tree . it symbolizes beauty , remembrance , strength , and , um , surviving hardship . ashley : it 's beautiful . i 'm sorry i could n't make it back in time for the dedication . billy : well , that 's okay . it was an impromptu thing that mom put together . besides , things got a little dicey when adam decided to show up . ashley : i heard about that . chloe showed up and threatened to kill him and you tried to talk her out of it . billy : i did n't want chloe throwing her life away over that piece of human garbage . ashley : [ sighs ] you know , billy , that 's the same rationale jack has for covering for adam . he did n't want you to go to prison . maybe we have to allow for the possibility that jack thought he was doing the right thing . billy : maybe you do . i 'm not that forgiving . dylan : how 's the little guy doing ? nick : he 's holding his own . dylan : that 's good to hear . it 's scary when they 're this early . nick : oh , you 're telling me . dylan : [ sighs ] i just , uh -- i just came from seeing sharon . she seemed happy about the baby . nick : seemed ? dylan : i mean , to tell you the truth , she was -- she was kind of out of it . nick : what do you mean ? dylan : well , when i was talking to her , she was definitely not herself . you know , kind of vague and , like i said , she was just out of it . nick : really ? dylan : yeah , and i - i spoke to her therapist , dr . anderson . nick : what did she say ? dylan : well , she said that , you know , sharon 's on new drugs , and it could take a while to get used to . nick : [ sighs ] well , it sounds like sharon 's in good hands . dr. anderson stopped by here yesterday . dylan : why would she do that ? sharon : i feel a little odd . dr. anderson : well , it 's to be expected . there 's nothing to worry about . although i am a little concerned about all these visitors you 've been having . you expend so much energy trying to engage with them . sharon : is that bad ? dr. anderson : i just want you to focus on yourself , your own health , and your baby 's . remember , everything you do now is for the baby . sharon : yes . everything i do now is for the baby . dr. anderson : including ... keeping up with your medication . patty : oh , hey , hey . would -- would you do me a big favor ? what kind of favor ? patty : um , i need this to be delivered to my brother paul williams . he 's the chief of police . it 's his birthday , and it 's a card for him . i 'll take care of it . patty : oh , thank you so much . dr. neville : before i proceed , there is something you need to understand . i evaluate each patient very carefully because each case is unique , and head injuries are especially tricky . there 's no slapdash , one - size - fits - all diagnosis or treatment regimen . if i decide on a course of action , then i insist it be given a chance to work because sometimes a patient will appear to take a turn for the worse before experiencing a dramatic turnaround . and while i understand this may be frightening for the patient 's loved ones , something of an emotional roller coaster , i have absolutely zero tolerance for untrained family members second - guessing me or slamming on the brakes in the middle of treatment . so ... if you do n't sincerely trust that i know what i 'm doing , please say so . that way , no one 's time is wasted . neil : so , once we place hilary 's care , life in your hands , are you telling us that we have no say ? ashley : out of curiosity , what would you have done if you 'd found out that adam was actually alive ? billy : ash , i honestly do n't know , but thanks to jack , i 'm never going to get the chance to find out , now am i ? ashley : are you bitter about that or is because you 've always looked up to jack but he does n't trust you ? billy : oh , you mean the way he does n't trust you ? look , either way , he 's wrong , ash . you have been waiting for years for the chance to take this company to another level . and then victor 's empire crumbling into bits is kind of like a -- it 's like an early christmas present , is n't it ? ashley : well , yeah . i mean , it is for us . we have to keep acquiring as much as we can as long as we can , even if it means going up against jack . phyllis : i have never been happy about victor getting away with what he did , but why would you want to protect him after all of that ? jack : wait , so -- so , the abbotts steal newman , piece by piece -- and that 's what this is . this is theft , even if , technically , it 's legal . and then victor retaliates and then things escalate more and more after that and then what ? phyllis : if we do not make victor vulnerable , if we do not go after him , we are leaving him free and angry and powerful enough to go after you again and again . and that , i will not tolerate . marisa : please . go . now . g - go home and think . noah : [ sighs ] marisa : [ sighs ] my bedroom is not the place to be making decisions . noah : i know . i know that you 're right , okay ? i ... i still want you to call me if you need anything . marisa : goodbye , noah . [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] luca : i know the real reason you left our marriage . you thought i 'd never find out , did n't you ? nick : sharon 's been worried about sage and the baby . dylan : mm - hmm . nick : you know , 'cause he 's premature . dr. anderson just wanted to be able to give sharon some good news . dylan : mm . and that 's why she came to see the baby . nick : yeah . it makes sense . now that she 's seen christian with her own eyes , she 'll be in a better position to reassure sharon . dylan : then that 's , uh , pretty amazing . nick : what ? dylan : that a busy doctor in a facility like that would take a personal interest in one of her patients . patty : hi . did you deliver the note ? sure did . patty : oh . thank you . i owe you one . my brother paul will be thrilled to get it . i delivered your note to dr. anderson . patty : what ? wait ! wait , i just -- i - i -- no , i -- why is the door locked ? no . the door 's never been locked in the day before ! hello ? let me out of here ! i got to get out of here ! hello ! dr. anderson : sharon ? sharon : mm ? dr. anderson : sharon , i 'm concerned that all these visitors you 've been having have been interfering with the progress you 've been making . you seem so disoriented when dylan and your other family members leave . do you agree ? sharon : i guess so . yeah . dr. anderson : i think it would be best if you did n't have any visitors for a while . do you agree with that , too ? you want what 's best for your baby , right ? excellent . here you go . please sign your name at the bottom . right there . go ahead . the only person you need to see while you 're in here is me . sharon : you . you 're the only person i need . [ next_on ] dr. neville : you need me . more importantly , she needs me . do we do this ? dr. anderson : sharon 's requested no visitors . noah : i 'm not going anywhere until my mother tells me herself . | sharon tells dr. anderson that patty has an issue with the meds sharon was given . dr. anderson tells patty not to interfere with the other patients . dylan visits sharon and sees that she 's `` off `` , very tired , forgetting names , and slurring her words . dr. anderson tells him sharon just needs to get used to her new meds . noah visits christian at the hospital then marisa . he takes her back to the hotel where he wants to stay with her but she makes him leave . luca arrives uninvited . he wants her to come back to him so he can protect her . dr. neville arrives at the boathouse but recognizes hilary from television . he wants nothing to do with the situation at first but neil and gwen talk him into treating hilary . dr. neville tells them that if he does this , they ca n't second guess him on anything and they must do everything he tells them to do . dylan visits christian and tells nick about sharon and the meds . nick tells him that dr. anderson visited christian so that she could tell sharon that he 's ok . dylan finds it strange for a busy doctor to do something so personal . patty writes a note for paul telling him that sharon is in trouble and asks an orderly to deliver it . instead of taking it to paul , he delivers it to dr. anderson , who throws it away . | <s>[INST] neil : hilary , not too much longer , okay ? you keep hangin ' in there . we 're gon na get you the help that you need . hey . gwen : it was n't easy , but i tracked down a private number for dr. neville . neil : okay . gwen : say the word , and i 'll make the call . neil : gwen , you listen to me , okay ? you give me that number , and then i want you to walk out that door and do n't look book . gwen : i 'm here with you now because we 're gon na be together in the future . i 'm not leaving you , neil . so just get used to it . neil : come here . okay .

[ door closes ] noah : [ sighs ] what about you ? are you just leaving , too ? billy : i do n't think i can sit through another round of jack 's lame explanations . ash , welcome back . ashley : thank you . phyllis : i take it you heard about adam . ashley : oh , yeah . abby filled me in on the basics , including the fact that you knew about adam 's masquerade from the very beginning . jack : i kept quiet to protect billy . ashley : this ought to be good . jack : adam led me to believe that billy shot him in cold blood the night of their car wreck . i did n't want our brother to wind up in prison . phyllis : adam conveniently omitted the fact that they were both struggling over the gun . ashley : so , the shooting was an accident ? phyllis : which adam was decent enough to admit to the police . billy is off the hook . jack : i thought , though , at the time , that adam held something significant over billy 's head . it 's possible i misunderstood what adam said , that i misinter -- phyllis : it is more possible that adam was lying . you let yourself be persuaded because you thought you were doing the right thing by keeping a secret , period . jack : i realize billy is emotionally unprepared to deal with this right now . ashley : well , for good reason , jack . you 've made some really questionable choices , do n't you think ? jack : i 'm not the only one . do you have any idea what billy 's been doing while you 've been gone ? nick : why ca n't you go home with me ? sage : you know why . nick : look , that was an emotional argument . and i said some terrible things to you . sage : well , you were in shock , nick , because of what i kept from you . and i apologize , but i ca n't keep doing that to you . nick : sage , i love you . you 're my wife . and you are my son 's mother , and we need you . and i want us to be together , all of us , the way we dreamed about . that is , if you can forgive me . sage : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] you had every right to be angry , nick . and the fact that you 're willing to forgive me right now is not something that i take lightly . i was so afraid of losing you , and that 's why i did n't tell you the truth about adam . because i wanted us to stay together and raise our child and be married . that means everything to me . which is why it 's very difficult for me to tell you this . nick : tell me what ? sage : i ca n't go home with you now . i know you should be there , because faith needs you , especially when sharon 's away . but i need to be here . i need to be with christian , and wild horses could not drag me away from this . nick : i understand . jack : billy snatched up almost every company this paragon virus cut loose from newman . cosmetics is not the only industry we 're involved in anymore . and i 'm not too pleased about that . ashley : well , i 'm very pleased . which was why i gave him the green light for every single acquisition that he made . both : what ? phyllis : you knew ? ashley : of course i knew , phyllis . i 'm the c.e.o . of the company . and at least billy understands that i 'm in charge , even if you do n't , jack . jack : you were aware of all of this ? ashley : you know what ? this is a plum opportunity for us to become a multinational , jack . it puts jabot on the map with multiple industries virtually overnight . jack : so , now you think you can out - victor victor ? ashley : i know i can , even if you do n't . and , billy , you should be commended . he knew exactly which companies should be cherry - picked . billy : well , nice to know at least one of my siblings trusts me . jack : this is n't about trust . this is about business judgment , or lack thereof , and i seriously question whether what was best for jabot was your prime motivation in these acquisitions . ashley : and now you 're questioning my judgment . why am i not surprised ? but guess what . now that i 'm back , i 'm going to happily keep scooping up every single one of those juicy paragon windfalls . jack : no , ash , that is the biggest mistake you could make right now . marisa : i was headed out of town and out of your life when i was ... hit over the head , so ... [ sighs ] i would be leaving genoa city right now , but the doctors have forbidden me to travel just yet . noah : so , when will you be ready to go ? marisa : [ clears throat ] as soon as i pass my follow - up exam . if the doctor says i 'm well enough , i 'll be gone . then you can ... forget all about me . noah : i really do n't think that 's possible . marisa : you should try , noah . noah : who are you calling ? marisa : a taxi to take me to the hotel . noah : do n't worry about it . i 'll take you back to my place . marisa : to the hotel ? noah : right . to the hotel . gwen : neil . neil : yeah ? dr. neville : uh , i 'm dr . neville . neil : call me neil , please . dr. neville : neil , uh , yes . well , gwen has described your need for discretion . i understand . obviously privacy is a concern . i can respect that . neil : well , thank you . uh , i appreciate you coming all the way down here . i do . but let me make something very clear to you . i 'm willing to pay you whatever you want . dr. neville : well , that 's good to know . although i 've always been more interested in the challenge of medicine than the size of my paycheck . so , uh , what seems to be the trouble ? neil : no , i - i 'm not the one who needs the help . dr. neville : well , then , i do n't understand . gwen : when i said my boyfriend was dealing with some medical issues , um , i did n't mean his issues . neil : this is the patient . dr. neville : my god . that woman 's been all over the news . whatever the hell is going on here , i think i need to call the police . neil : hold on a minute , doc . doc , no . you ca n't call the police . dr. neville : this woman has been all over the news . a man has been accused of her murder . neil : and that man is my son . dr. neville : your -- well , i do n't think i want any part of this . gwen : doctor , please . before you go , just let neil explain . neil : this lady -- her name is hilary hamilton . she fell . she was knocked unconscious . that 's how i found her , and i know this sounds crazy , but i - i brought her back here . i thought i could nurse her back to health . i thought that this would all end very quickly . but it has n't . you see , i need this woman to wake up because unless she can speak for herself , everyone 's gon na think that i 'm responsible for this . and i am praying that she 's not beyond hope . dr. neville : well , i 'm cured more than my share of hopeless cases . neil : she does n't just need medical attention . she needs the best medical attention . now , can you help us ? nick : sharon was pretty adamant about not leaving noah when he was in the nicu , but ... you got to get your rest , sage . [ door opens ] susan : sign these papers and you can be on your way . nick : look ... the hospital can not keep you here if you 're well enough to leave . sage : i understand that , but i 'm not going to leave my child overnight by himself . nick : he 's not gon na be by himself . he 's got susan and -- and the rest of the nurses and doctors . this is the best place in the world for him . sage : ca n't i just sit in this chair day and night ? i 'm not going to leave my baby . susan : we do have family quarters . for a few nights , anyway . nick : that sounds like it would be perfect . how does that sound to you ? sage : i would really appreciate it if you 'd arrange that for me . susan : i 'll go see what 's available . sage : thank you . nick : thank you . [ door opens , closes ] sage : i know you think i 'm nuts . nick : no . you 're just doing what any mother would do . besides , it 'll give me more time to get everything ready . sage : [ sighs ] all we have is the crib assembled . we have so much to do . nick : it 'll get done . and when our little guy comes home , everything will be ready . sage : how did i get so lucky ? nick : we 're all lucky . and that 's gon na stay that way . dr. anderson : i understand you 've been questioning the medication i 've prescribed for sharon newman . patty : i just thought -- well , she has n't really seemed the same since you started her on it , that 's all . dr. anderson : patty , you should know from personal experience that patients have good days and bad days . now , it 's lovely that you care about your fellow patients . but i want you to concentrate on your own recovery and trust that sharon and all the other patients here at fairview are in good hands . can you do that ? patty : yeah . of course . dr. anderson : good . i 'm glad we talked . [ door opens , closes ] dylan : if you 're this tired , maybe you should go lie down for a while or , i do n't know , tell the doctor . sharon : no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i - i want to hear about your search for , um -- um ... hilary . dylan : are you sure you 're okay ? sharon : yes , i 'm fine . i 'm just tired . tell me . i want to -- i want to hear about hilary . dylan : uh , things really have n't worked out the way we 've hoped , at least not yet . sharon : hmm . dylan : sharon . sharon : my mouth 's dry . dylan : okay . i 'll -- i 'll get you some water . [ sighs ] oh , excuse me . i just wanted to talk to you for a second . dr. anderson : sure . what about ? dylan : um ... last time i was here , sharon seemed so clear - headed , and she was talking about coming home . and now she 's confused , she 's out of it , and she seems a lot worse than before . what happened ? is there something i should know ? dr. anderson : i 'm afraid your fiancée has n't been honest with you , dylan . dr. anderson : sharon 's been telling you and the rest of her family that she 's coming home soon because she knows that 's what you want to hear . but i 'm afraid that 's not accurate . dylan : what ? i do n't understand . the only reason she checked herself into this place is to get her medication straightened out . dr. anderson : and that 's what we 're doing . dylan : is it working or not ? dr. anderson : finding the right combination can take some patience , and we have to be especially careful because of her condition . dylan : her pregnancy , you mean . dr. anderson : i believe we 're on the right track here . now , there are some side effects . fatigue is one of them . it may just take some time for sharon to get used to her new prescription . but she will . i 'm confident of that . everything is going exactly as it should . dylan : [ sighs ] okay . well , thank you for explaining that . dr. anderson : you 're welcome . dylan : hey . here 's your water . sharon : oh , thank you . maybe i will just go lay down for a while . dylan : okay . that 's a good idea . i 'll check in with you later . sharon : okay . marisa : [ sighs ] noah : do you have everything you need ? marisa : i 'm supposed to rest , and i have a bed , so yeah . you do n't have to stay . noah : what if i want to stay ? marisa : i - i do n't think that 's a good idea , noah . noah : look , the person who attacked you -- if they were targeting you specifically -- marisa : i was alone at night outside . i 'll be fine here . i promise to double- lock the doors . i , um -- i appreciate you giving me a ride here , but you should go now . noah : why are you so eager to get rid of me ? marisa : because the longer you stay , the harder it will be for me to say goodbye to you . jack : watching victor 's empire crumble should be reward enough for all of us . why do we have to kick a man while he 's down ? billy : you 're taking the moral high ground ? that is hilarious coming from you , considering the fact that if you had just told us about adam to begin with , he never would have been able to destroy newman . phyllis : we 're not gon na do this here , all right ? jack : how do you think dad would feel about this ? you think he would want to antagonize victor ? ha - have n't we had enough of this ? ashley : we 're not doing anything illegal , jack . and you know damn well if the shoe was on the other foot , victor would n't hesitate . since when did you become such a softie ? jack : since i saw how out of control this war can get , ash . billy : yadda , yadda , yadda . heard all this before . ashley : yeah , you 're right , billy . we 're just going around in circles , are n't we ? would you mind coming with me ? i 'd like you to show me something . billy : gladly . jack . phyllis . phyllis : that went well . jack : i - i hate that we are at sword points about this . thank god you understand . phyllis : frankly , jack , i 'm not so sure i do . dr. neville : this is a far more complex situation than i was led to believe . neil : i am in over my head . i told you once -- i 'll pay you whatever you want . dr. neville : as i said before , it 's not about the money . gwen : it 's about the challenge . dr. neville : that 's exactly right . i 'll do whatever 's necessary to help a patient , even if it means bending the rules . neil : that 's exactly what i 'm asking you to do . doctor , you 're in the business of saving people . this woman needs saving . i 'm desperate to have that happen . so is the rest of my family . so , the question is can you help my daughter - in- law ? will you help her ? marisa : why are you still here ? you were so mad at me for lying , you walked out on me . nothing 's changed . noah : i 'm still upset about marco ... and the fact that you neglected to tell me that you have a husband . but it just does n't change the way that i feel about you . i ca n't stop thinking about you . marisa : well , you should try . i 'll be gone soon . i was on my way out of town . noah : i wish that you had n't gotten hurt . but i 'm not sorry that you stayed in genoa city . marisa : noah , you should leave . noah : i ca n't . billy : it 's a ginkgo tree . it symbolizes beauty , remembrance , strength , and , um , surviving hardship . ashley : it 's beautiful . i 'm sorry i could n't make it back in time for the dedication . billy : well , that 's okay . it was an impromptu thing that mom put together . besides , things got a little dicey when adam decided to show up . ashley : i heard about that . chloe showed up and threatened to kill him and you tried to talk her out of it . billy : i did n't want chloe throwing her life away over that piece of human garbage . ashley : [ sighs ] you know , billy , that 's the same rationale jack has for covering for adam . he did n't want you to go to prison . maybe we have to allow for the possibility that jack thought he was doing the right thing . billy : maybe you do . i 'm not that forgiving . dylan : how 's the little guy doing ? nick : he 's holding his own . dylan : that 's good to hear . it 's scary when they 're this early . nick : oh , you 're telling me . dylan : [ sighs ] i just , uh -- i just came from seeing sharon . she seemed happy about the baby . nick : seemed ? dylan : i mean , to tell you the truth , she was -- she was kind of out of it . nick : what do you mean ? dylan : well , when i was talking to her , she was definitely not herself . you know , kind of vague and , like i said , she was just out of it . nick : really ? dylan : yeah , and i - i spoke to her therapist , dr . anderson . nick : what did she say ? dylan : well , she said that , you know , sharon 's on new drugs , and it could take a while to get used to . nick : [ sighs ] well , it sounds like sharon 's in good hands . dr. anderson stopped by here yesterday . dylan : why would she do that ? sharon : i feel a little odd . dr. anderson : well , it 's to be expected . there 's nothing to worry about . although i am a little concerned about all these visitors you 've been having . you expend so much energy trying to engage with them . sharon : is that bad ? dr. anderson : i just want you to focus on yourself , your own health , and your baby 's . remember , everything you do now is for the baby . sharon : yes . everything i do now is for the baby . dr. anderson : including ... keeping up with your medication . patty : oh , hey , hey . would -- would you do me a big favor ? what kind of favor ? patty : um , i need this to be delivered to my brother paul williams . he 's the chief of police . it 's his birthday , and it 's a card for him . i 'll take care of it . patty : oh , thank you so much . dr. neville : before i proceed , there is something you need to understand . i evaluate each patient very carefully because each case is unique , and head injuries are especially tricky . there 's no slapdash , one - size - fits - all diagnosis or treatment regimen . if i decide on a course of action , then i insist it be given a chance to work because sometimes a patient will appear to take a turn for the worse before experiencing a dramatic turnaround . and while i understand this may be frightening for the patient 's loved ones , something of an emotional roller coaster , i have absolutely zero tolerance for untrained family members second - guessing me or slamming on the brakes in the middle of treatment . so ... if you do n't sincerely trust that i know what i 'm doing , please say so . that way , no one 's time is wasted . neil : so , once we place hilary 's care , life in your hands , are you telling us that we have no say ? ashley : out of curiosity , what would you have done if you 'd found out that adam was actually alive ? billy : ash , i honestly do n't know , but thanks to jack , i 'm never going to get the chance to find out , now am i ? ashley : are you bitter about that or is because you 've always looked up to jack but he does n't trust you ? billy : oh , you mean the way he does n't trust you ? look , either way , he 's wrong , ash . you have been waiting for years for the chance to take this company to another level . and then victor 's empire crumbling into bits is kind of like a -- it 's like an early christmas present , is n't it ? ashley : well , yeah . i mean , it is for us . we have to keep acquiring as much as we can as long as we can , even if it means going up against jack . phyllis : i have never been happy about victor getting away with what he did , but why would you want to protect him after all of that ? jack : wait , so -- so , the abbotts steal newman , piece by piece -- and that 's what this is . this is theft , even if , technically , it 's legal . and then victor retaliates and then things escalate more and more after that and then what ? phyllis : if we do not make victor vulnerable , if we do not go after him , we are leaving him free and angry and powerful enough to go after you again and again . and that , i will not tolerate . marisa : please . go . now . g - go home and think . noah : [ sighs ] marisa : [ sighs ] my bedroom is not the place to be making decisions . noah : i know . i know that you 're right , okay ? i ... i still want you to call me if you need anything . marisa : goodbye , noah . [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] luca : i know the real reason you left our marriage . you thought i 'd never find out , did n't you ? nick : sharon 's been worried about sage and the baby . dylan : mm - hmm . nick : you know , 'cause he 's premature . dr. anderson just wanted to be able to give sharon some good news . dylan : mm . and that 's why she came to see the baby . nick : yeah . it makes sense . now that she 's seen christian with her own eyes , she 'll be in a better position to reassure sharon . dylan : then that 's , uh , pretty amazing . nick : what ? dylan : that a busy doctor in a facility like that would take a personal interest in one of her patients . patty : hi . did you deliver the note ? sure did . patty : oh . thank you . i owe you one . my brother paul will be thrilled to get it . i delivered your note to dr. anderson . patty : what ? wait ! wait , i just -- i - i -- no , i -- why is the door locked ? no . the door 's never been locked in the day before ! hello ? let me out of here ! i got to get out of here ! hello ! dr. anderson : sharon ? sharon : mm ? dr. anderson : sharon , i 'm concerned that all these visitors you 've been having have been interfering with the progress you 've been making . you seem so disoriented when dylan and your other family members leave . do you agree ? sharon : i guess so . yeah . dr. anderson : i think it would be best if you did n't have any visitors for a while . do you agree with that , too ? you want what 's best for your baby , right ? excellent . here you go . please sign your name at the bottom . right there . go ahead . the only person you need to see while you 're in here is me . sharon : you . you 're the only person i need .

[ somber music ] jj : i wish there was more i could do . lani : me too . but since the suspect is my father ... jj : i know we 're not allowed anywhere near the case , but ... lani , the more i been thinking about it , this whole thing just does n't add up . lani : like what ? jj : like eli . i 'm not a fan of the guy , but i always thought that he was smart . lani : no question . jj : so why would he just accept the most stand - up guy in town -- your dad -- as dario 's counterfeiting partner ? lani : i 've been wondering the same thing . especially since there 's no evidence against him . jj : there 's no evidence against anyone because someone tried to mow dario down before he could turn it in . which almost killed my sister . you know , and that 's another thing that does n't strike twelve , because abe would never be part of a move like that . lani : everybody knows that . including hope and rafe who are out there right now trying to dig up dirt against him . their great friend for so many years . jj : maybe we should do some digging of our own . lani : raines already threatened termination twice . if we do anything related to that case ... we 'll be breaking the rules . jj : that 's never stopped me before . justin : maggie ... i feel awful for lucas too . but it 's not like he did n't know that adrienne and i have ... a long history together . we have four children . victor : are n't you the one that always said it 's a woman 's prerogative to change her mind ? maggie : [ laughs ] when it comes to deciding what dress to wear to dinner ... not who she chooses to spend the rest of her life with . victor : well , since it was kind of sudden , justin , maybe it might not be a bad idea to ... take it a little slow at first . justin : actually , um , with all due respect , um ... slowly is not an option . in fact , that 's what i wanted to talk to you two about . victor : oh , lord . i think i know what 's coming . justin : adrienne and i are n't just back together . she 's moving in . [ light music ] hattie : no , no , honey , we ca n't call the cops . bonnie : why not ? hattie : because if we do , they 'll come and talk to us , andre not who we say we are , and then poofyou and me , e transport van to stateslle . bonnie : o what are we gon na do with her ? abe : he 'll call when he 's got something . we 've got it all planned out . rafe : so abe ... your alliance with eli -- you never told us how that all came about . abe : well , since eli had information that he could n't share with the pd ... eli : truth is , i already know who dario 's partner is . abe : i see . but you obviously ca n't share this information with the pd . but technically -- eli : you 're not in the department -- i know . which is why i 'm here . look , abe , as much as i hate to drag you into this , lani 's involved now . abe : lani 's involved ? how ? eli : dario 's partner is commissioner raines . abe : what ? a - are you sure ? eli : dario , when he gave up raines , i mean , he gave up enough information to convince me that he was telling the truth . abe : [ exhales ] i ca n't believe it . wait , wait , wait , wait . how -- how does lani figure into all this ? eli : well , knowing that she 's been working on the counterfeiting case with me , raines keeps pressuring her to tell him what she knows . abe : what does she know ? eli : next to nothing , at this point , but raines is n't buying it . abe : we have got ... to flush this rat out -- fast . eli : i agree . hey , look , i 've been toying around with an idea . abe : i 'm listening . eli : if raines thinks that we have another suspect , he might make a move , try to make sure that that person takes the rap . abe : giving himself away in the process . eli : exactly . but this other suspect has to be big enough that the fbi would be willing to let dario go free in exchange . [ tense music ] abe : how 'bout me ? so ... that 's how i became the bait . rafe : now let 's reel him in . lani : i do not wan na get you in trouble , jj . jj : abe has been a friend of my family forever . hell , he is family . i will do whatever it takes to prove he 's innocent . lani : okay . so tell me what you 're thinking . jj : okay . for starters , it 's not just eli going along with this that does n't make sense . it 's hope and rafe arresting him without even protesting . lani : right . it was almost too easy for them . jj : which makes me wonder if maybe they know something we don't . lani : like what ? jj : like there 's no way your father 's arrest will stick . lani : yeah , but how would they know that ? eli : well , maybe rafe could tell that his brother was lying when he named your father . lani : but at that point , why would n't dario just tell the truth ? eli : a lot of reasons . bottom line ... we know dario had to deliver someone important enough to justify the fbi putting him in witness protection . lani : and who 's more important than salem 's upstanding mayor ? jj : exactly . so why do n't we try to find out who dario 's real partner was ? that i.t . guy from the club , myron , he worked really closely with dario . lani : he already said he did n't know anything . jj : then let 's see if we can help him remember . [ suspenseful music ] raines : myron . commissioner raines . myron : yeah , yeah . i know who you are . hey , look , i already told the police i have n't heard from dario ... and i sure as hell never knew anything about him working for the mayor , of all people . raines : so there 's no evidence linking abe carver to the counterfeiting ring . myron : none that i know of . raines : then get some . [ suspenseful music ] maggie : well , that 's a surprise . victor : congratulations , justin . but , uh ... maybe maggie 's right about taking it a little slow at first . justin : moving in was actually adrienne 's idea . maggie : wow . [ laughs ] she does n't waste any time . so when is this move - in , uh , happening ? justin : well , if it 's okay with the both of you ... tonight . victor : well , it does n't matter to me . justin : maggie ? is it okay with you ? maggie : like i said , it 's , um , a little sudden , but if victor 's all right with it , then i 'm not gon na stand in your way . justin : thank you . that 's a relief . adrienne is the love of my life , the mother of my children , and we 're not just a couple . we 're part of a family . and like i said , i could n't be happier . i 'm gon na go over to the hotel and surprise her with the good news . thanks again . maggie : mm - hmm . [ light music ] hattie : okay , first -- first we 'll get a big bag , and we 'll put her in it . and then we 'll stick the bag in the elevator , and we 'll take her down and we 'll put her in the trunk of my car , and then we 'll figure out a way to dump it . bonnie : sounds like you 're taking out the trash . hattie : well , kinda , yeah . i mean , she was n't very nice . nobody liked her . no nobody 's gon na miss her . bonnie : true .

[ tense music ] lani : eli . eli : you two have to leave ! now ! jj : yo , we need to talk to myron . eli : you 're not on this case . raines finds out you 're here , you 'll both be fired . jj : we do n't care . raines : i need something linking carver to the counterfeiting , and i need it first thing tomorrow . hope : we lit a fire under raines by reminding him that if we do n't have anything more on you by morning , the charges 'll be dropped and you 'll walk . abe : that should make raines worried that the fbi will start looking for another suspect . rafe : mm - hmm . and he 'll be desperate enough to make a move and make sure the charges against you are filed . hope : and that 's when we 'll nail him . myron : okay , i get that you 're anxious to make a name for yourself as salem 's new commissioner , but unfortunately for you , my lawyer told me to keep my hands clean and my mouth shut . i 'm not about to risk that deal he made for me just so you can be named commissioner of the year . raines : so you 're missing my point , myron . let me be clear . crystal . this is not a request . [ edgy music ] hope : eli is on raines 's tail as we speak . myron : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? raines : you must have heard what happened to abigail devereaux recently . myron : uh , the hit and run driver put her in the hospital . raines : yeah . poor girl . would n't want something like that to happen to you . myron : but why would anything happen to me ? wait . are you -- is that a threat ? raines : [ chuckles ] if i were you , myron , i would be very careful . myron : oh , my god . maybe you 're not trying to nail the guilty man . maybe you 're trying to frame an innocent one . raines : now you 're catching on , myron . lucas : what 's goin ' on ? bonnie : oh , baby . oh , baby , baby , baby . everything 's fine , honey . no , just go back to sleep . it 's okay . lucas : i heard voices . bonnie : oh , must have been the tv . lucas : uh ... tv 's not on . bonnie : oh , baby , you 're exhausted , and you had a little bit too much to drink . you just need to go nigh - nigh . nigh - nigh , baby . lucas : you always take such good care of me . bonnie : oh , baby , you know it , just -- that 's it . shh .

[ dark music ] myron : you ? you were dario 's secret partner ? well , why did he say it was mayor carver ? raines : obviously , your boss is afraid of me . afraid of retaliation . against him , his family . anyone associated with him . rafe : thing is ... raines knows you 're not dario 's partner . so why would he believe that he named you ... instead of him ? abe : well , raines knows that dario 's scared of him . and because of that , i think he 'll buy that dario will give the fbi someone else to protect the people he loves . [ dark music ] raines : dario gave up mayor carver because he was scared someone he cared about might get hurt . myron : like abigail ... when she got hit by that car . raines : aw ... poor girl . it 's lucky she escaped alive . but you , myron , you might not be so lucky . myron : all right , commissioner . i 'll do whatever you want . raines : [ chuckles ] good man . jj : no , ca n't you see what a mess lani is over this ? she knows her father 's innocent and so do i . now , if you go in there and question myron , he 's gon na give you nothing but lies about abe . but since i am not on this case , i will do whatever it takes to get the truth outta that little geek . eli : you 're not going anywhere near him ! jj : get your hands off me . eli : listen , if you go in there ... raines : what the hell are you doing here ? [ intense musical buildup ] myron : i 've got some files i need to save . lani : pretty quiet for this time of night . raines : you did n't answer my question . lani : i came in for a drink . raines : hmm . of all the places ... you come here ? a place owned by your father 's partner ? lani : that did n't really occur to me . raines : you serious ? you expect me to believe that you coming here has nothing to do with abe 's case ? 'cause you 're not on it ? you 're not going to be on it . is that clear ? eli : jj , stop , all right ? we need to let lani handle this alone . jj : handle what ? myron ? guy 's a lightweight . eli : come on , please ! all right ? lani 's a smart cop . she 's got good instincts . let 's just hope she figures out fast how to play this . jj : play what ? what are you talking about ? eli : you got ta know that if i thought lani could n't handle this ... jj , we 're right here , all right ? jj : that 's it , i 'm going in . eli : no ! you are a loose cannon ! if i let you go in there , you 're gon na blow this operation sky high ! [ suspenseful music ] lani : i know i 'm not on the case . that would be a big ... conflict of interest . raines : i 've warned you twice about you jeopardizing your position . lani : i heard you . both times . raines : but you 're still sticking around , sticking your nose in places you do n't belong . lani : i told you , i came in for a drink . if that 's a problem , i will go someplace else . raines : do n't mess up again , price . you will be sorry . [ tense music ] jj : what happened ? did you talk to myron ? eli : she 'll explain later . we need to get out of here fast . lani : he 's right . just do what he says . [ suspenseful music ] victor : you still thinking about lucas ? maggie : if you had seen his face ... how happy he was when ... when he talked about adrienne . i know adrienne has a history with justin . they have children together . but she ... victor , she chose lucas . my god , he 's been through so much with her . they both made a commitment to each other , victor . victor : but then ... they did spend an awful lot of time together while sonny was in jail . maybe the draw to justin was just a little too strong . maggie : [ exhales ] i do n't recall your being such a fan of the two of them . why all of a sudden change of heart ? victor : well , as i said earlier , i just want my family to get along , be happy . maggie : well , i do too . i do too . i just hope that lucas can deal with his rejection in a healthy way . and for justin 's sake , i hope adrienne does n't change her mind . again . [ lightly edgy music ] bonnie : maybe this moving in together right away was n't such a good idea . justin : whoa ! why wait ? sweetheart , i have missed you so much . we 've spent so much time apart , i really do n't think i could spend another night alone . bonnie : um ... you 're right . you 're right , why wait ? you know what , i 'll get the stuff later -- let 's just go . justin : whoa ! adrienne , you 're not even dressed . bonnie : oh ! oh , my god . oh , my god , what got into me ? i got so excited about our new life together , i forgot i was still in my nighty . justin : just let me in . i 'll help you pack . bonnie : no . no , because if we go in there ... we might never come out . justin : would that be so bad ? adrienne : well , i do n't want our first time to be there . justin : our first time was a long time ago . bonnie : yeah , but it 's gon na feel like our first time after all this time . and justin , i want it to be special . so please , just ... wait for me downstairs . justin : okay . bonnie : thank you . justin : but do n't be long . bonnie : mm - mm . [ light music ] hattie : hey , hey . bonnie : what ? hattie : what are you doing ? bonnie : well , i do n't wan na keep him waiting . hattie : you do n't have to move in with him . that was anjelica 's plan . it is n't like she 's gon na come back to life and make you do it . bonnie : true . but she was right about one thing -- i really do want my revenge on maggie horton . hattie : you bet , baby . we 're gon na get that . do n't you worry . bonnie : right ? and this is my only chance to get it ! hattie : okay , fine -- we 've got ta find a way to get rid of anjelica 's body . now we got justin waiting downstairs . bonnie : i 've got it ! you get rid of it after i leave . you , honey , are the professional , right ? i got ta get downstairs . [ lightly humorous music ] lani : i was so not expecting that . jj : what was raines doing there anyway ? lani : questioning myron . that 's what it looked like . and he was not happy to see me . jj : what did he say ? lani : he threatened my job again , told me i was n't on my dad 's case and to steer clear . eli : yeah , well , you never should 've gone in there in the first place . i 'm just glad you had the sense to get out of there fast . jj : you know what i do n't get ... why were n't you in there with raines instead of lurking around outside like you were spying on them or something ? lani : i was wondering the same thing . eli : it 's none of your business . jj : no , do n't brush her off . this whole setup does n't make sense to her or me . just like the sudden arrest of salem 's most upstanding citizen doesn't ... make ... sense . or that the two of salem 's finest , who happen to be lifelong friends of the suspect , were conveniently on hand to make an arrest and did so without even a moment 's hesitation . none of this strikes twelve .

[ tense music ] eli : you got it all wrong . lani : no , you 're the one who 's wrong . it 's bad enough that we were partners and you kept it from me that you were about to arrest my father . if you 're now trying to keep the fact that you know he 's innocent , you 're worse than i thought . eli : this is n't personal , lani . lani : really ? then why is my father sitting in jail because of you ? jj : hold on -- would you two stop ? i 'm starting to think there actually might be a valid reason abe was arrested . eli : [ laughs ] i do n't have time for this . jj : okay , yeah , well , you know , before you go , tell me why , when we showed up outside the club , you completely flipped out ... accused us of screwing up a major investigation . eli : because you had no business being there . jj : when you came outside of that club , you looked like you had seen a ghost . lani : because raines -- how intense he was , the way he threatened my job again . jj : we know dario had to turn in someone big enough and powerful enough to get him into witness protection . but we also know that abe is innocent . eli : what 's your point , jj ? jj : what if the reason raines pushed lani to spill what she knew about the dario case was because he wanted to know if she knew who was really behind the counterfeiting ? what if dario 's silent partner ... is commissioner raines himself ? [ intense percussive music ] raines : so how 'd you make out with carver ? hope : well , you were right . we should have listened to you . a total waste of time . rafe : yeah . hope : he did n't admit to anything . rafe : nope . not a damn thing . and unless some new evidence comes out between now and the morning , we 're gon na have to let him go . raines : well ... let 's hope we find something by then . justin : maggie , uncle vic . victor : oh . adrienne . welcome . bonnie : oh . well , victor , thank you . thank you so much . you have no idea how much i appreciate your hospitality . maggie : hello , adrienne . bonnie : maggie . i am so looking forward to spending time with you again . i have a feeling we 're gon na have a lot of fun !

[ somber music ] jj : i wish there was more i could do . lani : me too . but since the suspect is my father ... jj : i know we 're not allowed anywhere near the case , but ... lani , the more i been thinking about it , this whole thing just does n't add up . lani : like what ? jj : like eli . i 'm not a fan of the guy , but i always thought that he was smart . lani : no question . jj : so why would he just accept the most stand - up guy in town -- your dad -- as dario 's counterfeiting partner ? lani : i 've been wondering the same thing . especially since there 's no evidence against him . jj : there 's no evidence against anyone because someone tried to mow dario down before he could turn it in . which almost killed my sister . you know , and that 's another thing that does n't strike twelve , because abe would never be part of a move like that . lani : everybody knows that . including hope and rafe who are out there right now trying to dig up dirt against him . their great friend for so many years . jj : maybe we should do some digging of our own . lani : raines already threatened termination twice . if we do anything related to that case ... we 'll be breaking the rules . jj : that 's never stopped me before . justin : maggie ... i feel awful for lucas too . but it 's not like he did n't know that adrienne and i have ... a long history together . we have four children . victor : are n't you the one that always said it 's a woman 's prerogative to change her mind ? maggie : [ laughs ] when it comes to deciding what dress to wear to dinner ... not who she chooses to spend the rest of her life with . victor : well , since it was kind of sudden , justin , maybe it might not be a bad idea to ... take it a little slow at first . justin : actually , um , with all due respect , um ... slowly is not an option . in fact , that 's what i wanted to talk to you two about . victor : oh , lord . i think i know what 's coming . justin : adrienne and i are n't just back together . she 's moving in . [ light music ] hattie : no , no , honey , we ca n't call the cops . bonnie : why not ? hattie : because if we do , they 'll come and talk to us , andre not who we say we are , and then poofyou and me , e transport van to stateslle . bonnie : o what are we gon na do with her ? abe : he 'll call when he 's got something . we 've got it all planned out . rafe : so abe ... your alliance with eli -- you never told us how that all came about . abe : well , since eli had information that he could n't share with the pd ... eli : truth is , i already know who dario 's partner is . abe : i see . but you obviously ca n't share this information with the pd . but technically -- eli : you 're not in the department -- i know . which is why i 'm here . look , abe , as much as i hate to drag you into this , lani 's involved now . abe : lani 's involved ? how ? eli : dario 's partner is commissioner raines . abe : what ? a - are you sure ? eli : dario , when he gave up raines , i mean , he gave up enough information to convince me that he was telling the truth . abe : [ exhales ] i ca n't believe it . wait , wait , wait , wait . how -- how does lani figure into all this ? eli : well , knowing that she 's been working on the counterfeiting case with me , raines keeps pressuring her to tell him what she knows . abe : what does she know ? eli : next to nothing , at this point , but raines is n't buying it . abe : we have got ... to flush this rat out -- fast . eli : i agree . hey , look , i 've been toying around with an idea . abe : i 'm listening . eli : if raines thinks that we have another suspect , he might make a move , try to make sure that that person takes the rap . abe : giving himself away in the process . eli : exactly . but this other suspect has to be big enough that the fbi would be willing to let dario go free in exchange . [ tense music ] abe : how 'bout me ? so ... that 's how i became the bait . rafe : now let 's reel him in . lani : i do not wan na get you in trouble , jj . jj : abe has been a friend of my family forever . hell , he is family . i will do whatever it takes to prove he 's innocent . lani : okay . so tell me what you 're thinking . jj : okay . for starters , it 's not just eli going along with this that does n't make sense . it 's hope and rafe arresting him without even protesting . lani : right . it was almost too easy for them . jj : which makes me wonder if maybe they know something we don't . lani : like what ? jj : like there 's no way your father 's arrest will stick . lani : yeah , but how would they know that ? eli : well , maybe rafe could tell that his brother was lying when he named your father . lani : but at that point , why would n't dario just tell the truth ? eli : a lot of reasons . bottom line ... we know dario had to deliver someone important enough to justify the fbi putting him in witness protection . lani : and who 's more important than salem 's upstanding mayor ? jj : exactly . so why do n't we try to find out who dario 's real partner was ? that i.t . guy from the club , myron , he worked really closely with dario . lani : he already said he did n't know anything . jj : then let 's see if we can help him remember . [ suspenseful music ] raines : myron . commissioner raines . myron : yeah , yeah . i know who you are . hey , look , i already told the police i have n't heard from dario ... and i sure as hell never knew anything about him working for the mayor , of all people . raines : so there 's no evidence linking abe carver to the counterfeiting ring . myron : none that i know of . raines : then get some . [ suspenseful music ] maggie : well , that 's a surprise . victor : congratulations , justin . but , uh ... maybe maggie 's right about taking it a little slow at first . justin : moving in was actually adrienne 's idea . maggie : wow . [ laughs ] she does n't waste any time . so when is this move - in , uh , happening ? justin : well , if it 's okay with the both of you ... tonight . victor : well , it does n't matter to me . justin : maggie ? is it okay with you ? maggie : like i said , it 's , um , a little sudden , but if victor 's all right with it , then i 'm not gon na stand in your way . justin : thank you . that 's a relief . adrienne is the love of my life , the mother of my children , and we 're not just a couple . we 're part of a family . and like i said , i could n't be happier . i 'm gon na go over to the hotel and surprise her with the good news . thanks again . maggie : mm - hmm . [ light music ] hattie : okay , first -- first we 'll get a big bag , and we 'll put her in it . and then we 'll stick the bag in the elevator , and we 'll take her down and we 'll put her in the trunk of my car , and then we 'll figure out a way to dump it . bonnie : sounds like you 're taking out the trash . hattie : well , kinda , yeah . i mean , she was n't very nice . nobody liked her . no nobody 's gon na miss her . bonnie : true .

[ tense music ] lani : eli . eli : you two have to leave ! now ! jj : yo , we need to talk to myron . eli : you 're not on this case . raines finds out you 're here , you 'll both be fired . jj : we do n't care . raines : i need something linking carver to the counterfeiting , and i need it first thing tomorrow . hope : we lit a fire under raines by reminding him that if we do n't have anything more on you by morning , the charges 'll be dropped and you 'll walk . abe : that should make raines worried that the fbi will start looking for another suspect . rafe : mm - hmm . and he 'll be desperate enough to make a move and make sure the charges against you are filed . hope : and that 's when we 'll nail him . myron : okay , i get that you 're anxious to make a name for yourself as salem 's new commissioner , but unfortunately for you , my lawyer told me to keep my hands clean and my mouth shut . i 'm not about to risk that deal he made for me just so you can be named commissioner of the year . raines : so you 're missing my point , myron . let me be clear . crystal . this is not a request . [ edgy music ] hope : eli is on raines 's tail as we speak . myron : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? raines : you must have heard what happened to abigail devereaux recently . myron : uh , the hit and run driver put her in the hospital . raines : yeah . poor girl . would n't want something like that to happen to you . myron : but why would anything happen to me ? wait . are you -- is that a threat ? raines : [ chuckles ] if i were you , myron , i would be very careful . myron : oh , my god . maybe you 're not trying to nail the guilty man . maybe you 're trying to frame an innocent one . raines : now you 're catching on , myron . lucas : what 's goin ' on ? bonnie : oh , baby . oh , baby , baby , baby . everything 's fine , honey . no , just go back to sleep . it 's okay . lucas : i heard voices . bonnie : oh , must have been the tv . lucas : uh ... tv 's not on . bonnie : oh , baby , you 're exhausted , and you had a little bit too much to drink . you just need to go nigh - nigh . nigh - nigh , baby . lucas : you always take such good care of me . bonnie : oh , baby , you know it , just -- that 's it . shh .

[ dark music ] myron : you ? you were dario 's secret partner ? well , why did he say it was mayor carver ? raines : obviously , your boss is afraid of me . afraid of retaliation . against him , his family . anyone associated with him . rafe : thing is ... raines knows you 're not dario 's partner . so why would he believe that he named you ... instead of him ? abe : well , raines knows that dario 's scared of him . and because of that , i think he 'll buy that dario will give the fbi someone else to protect the people he loves . [ dark music ] raines : dario gave up mayor carver because he was scared someone he cared about might get hurt . myron : like abigail ... when she got hit by that car . raines : aw ... poor girl . it 's lucky she escaped alive . but you , myron , you might not be so lucky . myron : all right , commissioner . i 'll do whatever you want . raines : [ chuckles ] good man . jj : no , ca n't you see what a mess lani is over this ? she knows her father 's innocent and so do i . now , if you go in there and question myron , he 's gon na give you nothing but lies about abe . but since i am not on this case , i will do whatever it takes to get the truth outta that little geek . eli : you 're not going anywhere near him ! jj : get your hands off me . eli : listen , if you go in there ... raines : what the hell are you doing here ? [ intense musical buildup ] myron : i 've got some files i need to save . lani : pretty quiet for this time of night . raines : you did n't answer my question . lani : i came in for a drink . raines : hmm . of all the places ... you come here ? a place owned by your father 's partner ? lani : that did n't really occur to me . raines : you serious ? you expect me to believe that you coming here has nothing to do with abe 's case ? 'cause you 're not on it ? you 're not going to be on it . is that clear ? eli : jj , stop , all right ? we need to let lani handle this alone . jj : handle what ? myron ? guy 's a lightweight . eli : come on , please ! all right ? lani 's a smart cop . she 's got good instincts . let 's just hope she figures out fast how to play this . jj : play what ? what are you talking about ? eli : you got ta know that if i thought lani could n't handle this ... jj , we 're right here , all right ? jj : that 's it , i 'm going in . eli : no ! you are a loose cannon ! if i let you go in there , you 're gon na blow this operation sky high !

[ tense music ] jj : what happened ? did you talk to myron ? eli : she 'll explain later . we need to get out of here fast . lani : he 's right . just do what he says . [ suspenseful music ] victor : you still thinking about lucas ? maggie : if you had seen his face ... how happy he was when ... when he talked about adrienne . i know adrienne has a history with justin . they have children together . but she ... victor , she chose lucas . my god , he 's been through so much with her . they both made a commitment to each other , victor . victor : but then ... they did spend an awful lot of time together while sonny was in jail . maybe the draw to justin was just a little too strong . maggie : [ exhales ] i do n't recall your being such a fan of the two of them . why all of a sudden change of heart ? victor : well , as i said earlier , i just want my family to get along , be happy . maggie : well , i do too . i do too . i just hope that lucas can deal with his rejection in a healthy way . and for justin 's sake , i hope adrienne does n't change her mind . again . [ lightly edgy music ] bonnie : maybe this moving in together right away was n't such a good idea . justin : whoa ! why wait ? sweetheart , i have missed you so much . we 've spent so much time apart , i really do n't think i could spend another night alone . bonnie : um ... you 're right . you 're right , why wait ? you know what , i 'll get the stuff later -- let 's just go . justin : whoa ! adrienne , you 're not even dressed . bonnie : oh ! oh , my god . oh , my god , what got into me ? i got so excited about our new life together , i forgot i was still in my nighty . justin : just let me in . i 'll help you pack . bonnie : no . no , because if we go in there ... we might never come out . justin : would that be so bad ? adrienne : well , i do n't want our first time to be there . justin : our first time was a long time ago . bonnie : yeah , but it 's gon na feel like our first time after all this time . and justin , i want it to be special . so please , just ... wait for me downstairs . justin : okay . bonnie : thank you . justin : but do n't be long . bonnie : mm - mm . [ light music ] hattie : hey , hey . bonnie : what ? hattie : what are you doing ? bonnie : well , i do n't wan na keep him waiting . hattie : you do n't have to move in with him . that was anjelica 's plan . it is n't like she 's gon na come back to life and make you do it . bonnie : true . but she was right about one thing -- i really do want my revenge on maggie horton . hattie : you bet , baby . we 're gon na get that . do n't you worry . bonnie : right ? and this is my only chance to get it ! hattie : okay , fine -- we 've got ta find a way to get rid of anjelica 's body . now we got justin waiting downstairs . bonnie : i 've got it ! you get rid of it after i leave . you , honey , are the professional , right ? i got ta get downstairs . [ lightly humorous music ] lani : i was so not expecting that . jj : what was raines doing there anyway ? lani : questioning myron . that 's what it looked like . and he was not happy to see me . jj : what did he say ? lani : he threatened my job again , told me i was n't on my dad 's case and to steer clear . eli : yeah , well , you never should 've gone in there in the first place . i 'm just glad you had the sense to get out of there fast . jj : you know what i do n't get ... why were n't you in there with raines instead of lurking around outside like you were spying on them or something ? lani : i was wondering the same thing . eli : it 's none of your business . jj : no , do n't brush her off . this whole setup does n't make sense to her or me . just like the sudden arrest of salem 's most upstanding citizen doesn't ... make ... sense . or that the two of salem 's finest , who happen to be lifelong friends of the suspect , were conveniently on hand to make an arrest and did so without even a moment 's hesitation . none of this strikes twelve .

[ tense music ] eli : you got it all wrong . lani : no , you 're the one who 's wrong . it 's bad enough that we were partners and you kept it from me that you were about to arrest my father . if you 're now trying to keep the fact that you know he 's innocent , you 're worse than i thought . eli : this is n't personal , lani . lani : really ? then why is my father sitting in jail because of you ? jj : hold on -- would you two stop ? i 'm starting to think there actually might be a valid reason abe was arrested . eli : [ laughs ] i do n't have time for this . jj : okay , yeah , well , you know , before you go , tell me why , when we showed up outside the club , you completely flipped out ... accused us of screwing up a major investigation . eli : because you had no business being there . jj : when you came outside of that club , you looked like you had seen a ghost . lani : because raines -- how intense he was , the way he threatened my job again . jj : we know dario had to turn in someone big enough and powerful enough to get him into witness protection . but we also know that abe is innocent . eli : what 's your point , jj ? jj : what if the reason raines pushed lani to spill what she knew about the dario case was because he wanted to know if she knew who was really behind the counterfeiting ? what if dario 's silent partner ... is commissioner raines himself ?

[ scene_break ] maddie : i 'm sorry . margo : oh , please , stop apologizing . you know , i think the reason we take on all this guilt is it sort of in a strange way makes us feel that we were n't as helpless as we really were . the truth is , in that moment , we had no power . maddie : in that moment , i know there was nothing that i could have done . but before and after -- margo : honey , you did everything you could . and now you 've got to move forward , because you ca n't change the past . you can only learn from it . maddie : how long did it take you till you felt normal again ? margo : normal ? i still have my moments . but i guess when i feel bad about myself , i talk . i talk to tom , i talk to someone else who understands . and then i move on . you just got to move on with your life . maddie : i do n't even know where to start . margo : why do n't you start by coming home with me ? maddie : oh , um , no thank you . henry 's coming back , and we 're gon na order some room service . and we have to get rid of all of eve and louis ' stuff . margo : no , no , there 's always time for that . really there is , honey . you need to be someplace where you feel safe and you feel comfortable , and you got family around you and a home . i want you to move back in with us .

[ scene_break ] simon : let 's go upstairs . [ scene_break ] maddie : when i used to come home from school and see eve 's purse on the table , i knew i could relax , because everything was okay , and she was home . she 'd put mom to bed , make dinner , help me with my homework . she never used to hate me . but she hates me so much right now . i 'm fine . i just -- i need to accept it , that she 's not herself . she 's not herself . margo : honey , she 's mentally ill . maddie : i know . i looked it up . they called it a psychotic break . she may never recover . and it 's -- margo : it 's your fault ? maddie : yes . margo : yes , and now you 're going to tell me that if it were n't for you , eve 's marriage would 've worked , that louis never would 've even looked at another woman ? he never would 've raped you ? so if all that is true , baby , then eve would still be happily married , and she never would 've picked up that knife . and all those kids , they 'd all still be alive , and no one would have been hurt if it were n't for you . maddie : how did you know ? margo : how you 're feeling ? because maddie , i 've felt the same way so many times . every time a friend on the force is hurt or killed , or someone that i 'm desperately trying to protect is attacked . after i was raped . maddie : i remember you telling me -- margo : and after i was raped , i felt that it was all my fault , that i could 've done , i do n't know , whatever to protect myself . i could 've fought harder than i did . maddie : stopped him . margo : yes , but the truth is , the man who raped me broke the law . he committed a violent crime . it was his choice . it was his fault . it was louis ' choice , louis ' fault . maddie : and what about eve ? margo : oh , eve . eve , i 'm sure that in the end , the doctors are gon na find that she did n't even know what was right or wrong . she 's one of louis ' victims as well , is n't she ? maddie : yes . margo : and maddie , that 's not the point here . the point is , you 're gon na recover . you 're gon na move on with your life , because you 've got so much to look forward to . you 've got college and a career and marriage -- maddie : nobody 's gon na want me . margo : oh , no , that 's not true . maddie : that 's how i feel . and i do n't know how to change it . margo : i 'm sorry , baby . i 'm sorry . shh . [ scene_break ] gwen : what 's going on ? will : nothing . you should -- you should really go back in . gwen : i 'm not going anywhere until you talk to me . it 's not easy sitting through this . maddie took off right when she saw the pictures , and i think margo 's with her . will : no , it 's not about the service . gwen : what is it ? where were you before it started ? i thought you were gon na meet me . will : yeah , i 'm sorry . gwen : no , it 's okay . it 's fine . it 's just margo said she saw your car and could n't find you . go for a walk ? will : no . gwen : you okay ? you want to go home ? will : no , that will not help . gwen : will , what happened ? something bad ? will : yeah , something bad .

[ scene_break ] maddie : i 'm sorry . margo : oh , please , stop apologizing . you know , i think the reason we take on all this guilt is it sort of in a strange way makes us feel that we were n't as helpless as we really were . the truth is , in that moment , we had no power . maddie : in that moment , i know there was nothing that i could have done . but before and after -- margo : honey , you did everything you could . and now you 've got to move forward , because you ca n't change the past . you can only learn from it . maddie : how long did it take you till you felt normal again ? margo : normal ? i still have my moments . but i guess when i feel bad about myself , i talk . i talk to tom , i talk to someone else who understands . and then i move on . you just got to move on with your life . maddie : i do n't even know where to start . margo : why do n't you start by coming home with me ? maddie : oh , um , no thank you . henry 's coming back , and we 're gon na order some room service . and we have to get rid of all of eve and louis ' stuff . margo : no , no , there 's always time for that . really there is , honey . you need to be someplace where you feel safe and you feel comfortable , and you got family around you and a home . i want you to move back in with us . [ scene_break ] gwen : so what happened ? will : well , um , we got here early to set up , and -- gwen : you just started thinking about jen ? i mean , i ca n't imagine what it must be like to be back in this church for another service . will : yeah , yeah , i guess so . but then -- gwen : will , come on . it has n't been that long since she passed away , and all these kids . so look , if you feel like going home , i completely understand . just know that once you get some rest , and things get back to normal , you 'll feel better . and when you do , i 'm right here . i 'm not going anywhere . will : you say that now -- gwen : look , i know that things have been messed up for a while , but you have to believe that that 's over . we 're together again , and i honestly feel more married to you now than i did before . and there 's nothing that you could do that would change the way i feel about you . will : if you only knew how much i want to believe that right now -- gwen : what is it ? i mean , there 's nothing that you ca n't tell me . will : you know how much i love you . gwen : i know . i love you , too . will : all i 've ever wanted is for us to be together and do all the things that we 've talked about . gwen : we are . we 're doing them . we 're gon na move back into our house , and we 're gon na register for school , and we 're gon na adopt some kids . i 'm not talking about right now . i 'm saying in a few years , once we graduate , we 're gon na have the family that we 've always wanted . come on , so what is it ? what 's got you so upset ?

[ light dramatic music ] steve : you know , i had a talk with , uh , ava 's cousin , angelo . tripp : oh , so you know how my mother 's family 's being very ... generous with me . steve : you do n't want that inheritance . tripp : [ chuckles ] actually , i really do . no one in their right mind would turn down that much money . steve : that money comes with strings , you know . that 's blood money . tripp : the vitalis are my blood . as much as you are . my mother would have wanted me to have it . steve : do you know where that money comes from ? not from your mother . not even from angelo . ava 's father built that fortune by being a ruthless criminal . the man was a stone cold killer who tortured his own daughter . but do n't forget , he 's the one who forced your mother to give you up . tripp : then he owes me this money . for everything he did to me and my mom . steve : listen , tripp , once you take their money -- tripp : my -- my money . it 's my money . why -- why are you so against me taking this , anyway ? because then i wo n't need you ? steve : no . that 's not why . tripp : from the moment i met you , you 've given me your side of the story . i bet you wish i never even saw those dvds that she made for me . steve : i did n't know they existed . tripp : you do now . and i want them back . steve : i 'm glad you brought that up . i wanted to talk to you about ava 's videos . tripp : [ chuckles ] let me guess . she was crazy , she never loved me , and everything on those discs is a lie . steve : no . actually , when i saw ava on the videos , i realized i should have told you more about your mother . i left some things out . sonny : hey . you know , you have no idea how happy i am to talk to someone about anything other than dress sketches and runway shows . paul : rough start at basic black ? sonny : you know , it turns out , jumping in as ceo on a business you know nothing about has its challenges . paul : who knew ? sonny : deimos knew , that 's why he put me here . paul : [ chuckles ] it ca n't be that bad . sonny : paul , i 've been doing this for a week -- we 're already a month behind on distribution and manufacturing . the whole thing 's a mess . paul : okay , that 's pretty rough . look , i need you to take a break , though . sonny : i ca n't . i just have too much to do . paul : no , you 're gon na want to take a break for this , i promise . i have some good news . sonny : nicole 's back and she 's gon na run basic black ? paul : better . no , i have information that might help us finally take down your uncle deimos . [ dramatic music ] steve : when i met your mother she was happy . she was , uh -- she was like a free spirit . just wild . and we did fall in love . we were supposed to be married . i was abducted just minutes before the wedding . and she thought i left her at the altar . she was devastated . i was having a bit of a rough time myself . people who abducted me put me through hell . and as a result , that happy season of my life with your mother was a suppressed memory for a long time . i was gone when she found out she was pregnant . and shortly after you were born , her father snatched you away from her and she never saw you again . now , god only knows what that did to her inside . all i know is , she spiraled out of control . she was crazed with grief and from the drugs martina was pumping into her . tripp : then it was n't her fault . her father drove her crazy . steve : that 's partly true , but then she got clean . and after i did everything i could to make peace with her , she could n't let go . tripp : she still loved you ? steve : it was obsession . and the last time she came back to salem , you know what she did ? she pretended she had cancer and then she abducted kayla and almost killed her . i know , tripp . i know it 's natural for you to want to think of your mother as a good person . and she was in the beginning , but in the end , ava was dangerous . she was a threat to my entire family . tripp : yeah ? [ quietly ] prove it . kayla : so what are you guys doing tonight ? jade : well , i was hoping that joey would join me on a trip to azeroth . our guild is supposed to be hopping on the headsets for a big mission tonight . kayla : i have no idea what that means . joey : it 's a video game that i do n't have time to play because i have to study for my western civ test . jade : come on . just for a little while ? joey : i 'll see you later , mom ? kayla : uh , sure . well , study hard and call me if you need some help . joey : okay . kayla : okay . feel better , jade . jade : thanks for bringing my medicine . kayla : oh , anytime . jade : they 're waiting for us . ca n't you just play for a half hour ? joey : i told you , i have to study . i do n't have time to play games tonight . [ dramatic music ] kayla : stop ! the noble tortilla was created thousands of years ago now , i know deimos does n't do a lot of business by email , but i kept monitoring his accounts just in case . sonny : you found something we can use ? paul : maybe . here , take a look at this . see if any of it means anything to you . sonny : let 's see . `` everything is set at the homestead . we are ready for the delivery of the artifacts `` ? paul : thoughts ? sonny : i mean , chad stole deimos 's illegal artifact business , so he must -- he must have found another source . paul : and he 's having it delivered here ? sonny : by `` homestead , `` he 's not talking about the mansion . he knows that i 'm watching . he would never have anything incriminating sent there . paul : okay , so where else is `` home `` for deimos ? sonny : greece ? for a kiriakis , you know , that is home . paul : of course ! yeah , yeah , yeah . let 's see , uh -- let 's see if uncle deimos has anything going on in greece . kayla : put those down , jade . jade : what are you talking about ? kayla : i told you to take one pill a day . that was a lot more than one . jade : no , i went to get one and a bunch fell out of the bottle . kayla : do you really expect me to believe that ? [ door opens ] joey : thought you left , mom . what 's going on ? kayla : do you want to tell him , or shall i ? jade : there 's nothing to tell . kayla : you know , jade , i have been around a long time , and uh , you want to maybe stop lying to joey and have an honest conversation ? jade : your mom walked in as i was about to take a couple of pills . kayla : it was a lot more than a couple . joey : what are you doing ? are you trying to kill yourself ? jade : no . of course not . kayla : i think that jade is trying to stay sick . joey : why ? kayla : because if she stays sick , then you have to take care of her . am i right , jade ? joey : is she right ? i need you to tell me the truth right now . tripp : how do i know you 're telling the truth about my mother ? steve : well , i did n't come here to , uh , dig up old wounds about ava . tripp : no , no , no , you came to say that she was a crazed psycho who tried to kill your entire family and that i should just believe you . well , what if i do n't ? what if i do n't trust anything you say anymore ? [ dramatic music ] steve : i did n't want you to have to see this , tripp . you want proof ? tripp : what is this ? steve : that 's what we called ava 's secret room . we found it after she went off the rails . i told you she was fixated on me and kayla . so she had all these pictures up and she wrote messages on them , love poems , threats , all kinds of crazy stuff . tripp : is that a mannequin head ? steve : with a patch on it . ava was a sick woman , tripp . we do n't know how long she had that room . we do n't know how long she was in salem stalking us before we found her , but this ... this is the work of a troubled mind . in the room above that , that 's where she held my wife hostage after she kidnapped her . tripp : but -- but i saw the video . she -- she was n't always like that . steve : no . and believe me , when she came back , i tried to see the best in her . i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt , but when she started coming after my family again , that was it . tripp : o - okay , so she did -- she did bad things , right ? but she was n't evil . steve : okay , tripp , listen -- tripp : no , no , no , she was sick . all right , even you admit that . you loved her once , right ? well , why did n't you try to help her ? you could 've saved my mother , but instead , you put a pillow over her face and held it there until she was dead .

[ laughs ] that kind of thing really messes with your head , does n't it ? tripp : yeah . steve : you start to think that everyone 's like him . everyone 's out to get you , even the people who say they 're on your side . makes it hard to trust anyone . tripp : i trust myself . that 's enough . steve : i used to think that too . till i met kayla . yeah , she turned it all around for me . she taught me that there are good people in this world . families who love each other , take care of each other . tripp , you do n't have to be alone anymore . i ca n't offer you bags of money like angelo , but i can be a father to you , and you can have a real family . have a brother and a sister you can count on , a - and a step - mother who is the most loving , selfless person i 've ever known . all you got to do is let us in a little bit . but you have to decide what 's more important -- that money or a good family ? paul : okay . so we have a few possible locations of where deimos 's homestead may be in greece . take a look . sonny : i mean , none of these addresses mean anything to me . paul : okay , so just have the european contact scope that out for us . sonny : okay , and i 'll work on finding out what kind of artifact deimos might be expecting . you know , in the meantime , can i buy you a drink to thank you for all your hard work ? i mean it . paul : no , you do n't have to thank me . but a drink does sound good . sonny : i know you wish i would just keep my head down and leave deimos alone . paul : and i know you 're never gon na do that . sonny : does n't mean you have to help me put a target on my back . paul : well , i told you , if you 're all in , then i 'm in it with you , for better or worse . sonny : [ chuckles ] oh , that sounds like a marriage . `` for better '' -- paul : yeah , well , do n't awkwardly laugh .

[ dramatic music ] steve : when i met your mother she was happy . she was , uh -- she was like a free spirit . just wild . and we did fall in love . we were supposed to be married . i was abducted just minutes before the wedding . and she thought i left her at the altar . she was devastated . i was having a bit of a rough time myself . people who abducted me put me through hell . and as a result , that happy season of my life with your mother was a suppressed memory for a long time . i was gone when she found out she was pregnant . and shortly after you were born , her father snatched you away from her and she never saw you again . now , god only knows what that did to her inside . all i know is , she spiraled out of control . she was crazed with grief and from the drugs martina was pumping into her . tripp : then it was n't her fault . her father drove her crazy . steve : that 's partly true , but then she got clean . and after i did everything i could to make peace with her , she could n't let go . tripp : she still loved you ? steve : it was obsession . and the last time she came back to salem , you know what she did ? she pretended she had cancer and then she abducted kayla and almost killed her . i know , tripp . i know it 's natural for you to want to think of your mother as a good person . and she was in the beginning , but in the end , ava was dangerous . she was a threat to my entire family . tripp : yeah ? [ quietly ] prove it . kayla : so what are you guys doing tonight ? jade : well , i was hoping that joey would join me on a trip to azeroth . our guild is supposed to be hopping on the headsets for a big mission tonight . kayla : i have no idea what that means . joey : it 's a video game that i do n't have time to play because i have to study for my western civ test . jade : come on . just for a little while ? joey : i 'll see you later , mom ? kayla : uh , sure . well , study hard and call me if you need some help . joey : okay . kayla : okay . feel better , jade . jade : thanks for bringing my medicine . kayla : oh , anytime . jade : they 're waiting for us . ca n't you just play for a half hour ? joey : i told you , i have to study . i do n't have time to play games tonight . [ dramatic music ] kayla : stop ! the noble tortilla was created thousands of years ago now , i know deimos does n't do a lot of business by email , but i kept monitoring his accounts just in case . sonny : you found something we can use ? paul : maybe . here , take a look at this . see if any of it means anything to you . sonny : let 's see . `` everything is set at the homestead . we are ready for the delivery of the artifacts `` ? paul : thoughts ? sonny : i mean , chad stole deimos 's illegal artifact business , so he must -- he must have found another source . paul : and he 's having it delivered here ? sonny : by `` homestead , `` he 's not talking about the mansion . he knows that i 'm watching . he would never have anything incriminating sent there . paul : okay , so where else is `` home `` for deimos ? sonny : greece ? for a kiriakis , you know , that is home . paul : of course ! yeah , yeah , yeah . let 's see , uh -- let 's see if uncle deimos has anything going on in greece . kayla : put those down , jade . jade : what are you talking about ? kayla : i told you to take one pill a day . that was a lot more than one . jade : no , i went to get one and a bunch fell out of the bottle . kayla : do you really expect me to believe that ? [ door opens ] joey : thought you left , mom . what 's going on ? kayla : do you want to tell him , or shall i ? jade : there 's nothing to tell . kayla : you know , jade , i have been around a long time , and uh , you want to maybe stop lying to joey and have an honest conversation ? jade : your mom walked in as i was about to take a couple of pills . kayla : it was a lot more than a couple . joey : what are you doing ? are you trying to kill yourself ? jade : no . of course not . kayla : i think that jade is trying to stay sick . joey : why ? kayla : because if she stays sick , then you have to take care of her . am i right , jade ? joey : is she right ? i need you to tell me the truth right now . tripp : how do i know you 're telling the truth about my mother ? steve : well , i did n't come here to , uh , dig up old wounds about ava . tripp : no , no , no , you came to say that she was a crazed psycho who tried to kill your entire family and that i should just believe you . well , what if i do n't ? what if i do n't trust anything you say anymore ? [ dramatic music ] steve : i did n't want you to have to see this , tripp . you want proof ? tripp : what is this ? steve : that 's what we called ava 's secret room . we found it after she went off the rails . i told you she was fixated on me and kayla . so she had all these pictures up and she wrote messages on them , love poems , threats , all kinds of crazy stuff . tripp : is that a mannequin head ? steve : with a patch on it . ava was a sick woman , tripp . we do n't know how long she had that room . we do n't know how long she was in salem stalking us before we found her , but this ... this is the work of a troubled mind . in the room above that , that 's where she held my wife hostage after she kidnapped her . tripp : but -- but i saw the video . she -- she was n't always like that . steve : no . and believe me , when she came back , i tried to see the best in her . i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt , but when she started coming after my family again , that was it . tripp : o - okay , so she did -- she did bad things , right ? but she was n't evil . steve : okay , tripp , listen -- tripp : no , no , no , she was sick . all right , even you admit that . you loved her once , right ? well , why did n't you try to help her ? you could 've saved my mother , but instead , you put a pillow over her face and held it there until she was dead .

[ light instrumental music ] joey : you ca n't lock the door . she pays our rent ; she has a key . jade : i ca n't believe she did that . i mean , we were doing fine , and then she came in and -- joey : caught you with a bunch of pills ? jade : let me explain . joey : i - i do n't want explanations . i 'm still waiting on the truth . jade : okay . you want the truth , joey ? the truth is , i 'm scared and i 'm lonely and i miss you . even when you 're standing right in front of me , i miss you . i miss what we had when it was you , me , and our baby and we had such a bright future . losing that and the complications from the surgery and everything that happened with my dad -- i 'm sorry , i just wanted to be happy again . like we used to be . joey : so you take a bunch of pills to make yourself sick ? so what ? so -- so i have to keep taking care of you ? jade : joey , i love you . when you 're looking after me , everything in my life feels right , like nothing else matters . but when you 're cold and distant -- joey : look , you lied to me , okay , and you used my mom . jade : i 'm sorry . joey : it 's not about being sorry . it 's about hearing what i have to say . i 've said it over and over again . how many more times do i have to say it ? i do n't love you . tripp : so what happens if i take the money from the vitalis ? you done with me ? steve : of course not . you 're my son ; i 'll never be done with you . but i want you to think about what that inheritance means . tripp : it means that i can finally stop living paycheck to paycheck , working in diners , always being behind on my bills . steve : it also means you 'll be beholden to that family . they 're the ones that 'll be paying your bills , buy your house . do n't forget , they 're the ones who changed ava . they took that sweet , hopeful young woman you saw on those dvds and they turned her into something vicious , someone who could put together that horrible room . i do n't want to see anything like that happen to you , tripp . tripp : none of this makes any sense . steve : i know . it 's all come down on you way too fast . so ... you think about things , about that money , about me , but just know that i 'll always be here for you , no matter what . tripp : even if i do n't do what you say ? steve : it 's your life . i just want to be a part of it . so you , uh , you staying in salem ? tripp : for now . at least until the lawyer gets the inheritance processed .

[ tender music ] marlena : okay , then . no more questions . john : i 've got a question , sweetheart . marlena : mm - hmm ? john : how are you ? marlena : i miss my husband . john : oh . and he misses you so much . marlena : you know , sometimes i think that i 've gotten used to you not being there . and in the middle of the night , i 'll roll over and in my sleep , i 'll reach out for you . touch your pillow . and then it starts all over again . and i ca n't even breathe . john : i 'm sorry , doc . marlena : i know that you will come home to me as soon as you possibly can . john : that 's a fact . and that 's what i concentrate on every day ; just get this damn job done and get home to your wife . marlena : mm . maybe i can give you a little motivation . sonny : wow . no one ever warned me how people in the fashion industry are so vicious . i do n't know who 's more dangerous ; uncle vic , a felon , or mila , the pissed - off shoe designer . paul : you know , i think i 'll just take my chances with deimos . at least with him we have the police on our side . [ both chuckle ] sonny : how did we get here ? paul : oh , we were just in the town square . we walked around the corner -- sonny : i did n't mean it that way . paul : [ laughs ] i know what you meant . um , i mean , it 's just life , you know ? does n't turn out the way you expect it to , does it ? sonny : no . ca n't say running basic black was ever in the plans for me . paul : you know , when baseball went away , i , uh -- i did n't think there 'd be anything i 'd care as much about , ever again . but i , uh -- i found a life after sports . sonny : yeah , it 's -- it 's different for me . all this stuff with deimos made me realize how much i want to run titan , turn things around for my family . i 've found what i want to do with my life . and i 've found who i want to spend it with . paul : bet you were n't planning for that either . sonny : i was n't , but falling back in love with you is even better because it was unexpected .

ridge : you do agree with me asking sally to stay here , right ? eric : yes . i think it 's absolutely the right thing to do . you just surprised us both . i wonder if she 's going to accept . brooke : how could she not accept ? you just gave sally an opportunity to have a great future here at forrester creations . sally : you guys were just catching up . we will talk at home . wyatt : no , sally . stop . my mother and flo were just reminiscing about old times , and my mother clearly knows that i am in a committed relationship because we live together . flo : in such a beautiful home , and i - i ca n't thank you enough for having me over . it was really nice . quinn : aww . sally : it was our pleasure . wyatt : yeah , and -- and we 're hoping to have you over again , maybe , but i would like my mother to stop making things so awkward all the time . quinn : i was talking to flo . i did n't even know sally was there . wyatt : mom ! quinn : i am really sorry if you misconstrued what i said and took it as a slight . wyatt : could have just stopped at `` i 'm sorry , `` but ... quinn : oh , come on . sally knows that i was n't trying to denigrate whatever it is you two have with each other and hurt her feelings . i was just excited to see flo , you know ? and i think if anyone 's making this awkward , i 'd say it 's you . wyatt : mom ... sally : okay , look . i just needed to talk to wyatt . there was no one at reception . the door was open . i thought you would be alone . flo : well , we 're gon na head out , then , anyway . sally : no , no , no . i 'm not trying to run you off . quinn : no , no , no , no . you two need to talk . sally : [ sighs ] quinn : [ clears throat ] flo : i - i really hope i can see you again . sally : soon . quinn : yes , soon ! do you have time for coffee ? i want to have coffee with you . i love you , sweetheart . mm . so handsome . wyatt : yeah , great . quinn : okay . bye ! wyatt : thanks for a fun day . sally : well , i guess it 's pretty clear who your mother 's favorite is . wyatt : my mother did n't mean to hurt your feelings , okay ? sally : look , i 'm a tough cookie , wyatt , okay ? i 'm not scared of your mother or a little competition . what i do care about , though , is if you and your ex were perfect back in the day . it 's how quinn said it . wyatt : well , i - i had n't even told her that flo was in town . like , it surprised her . that 's all . sally : try `` elated . `` wyatt : [ groans ] okay , fine . a little bit . but that is no reflection on how my mother feels about you . sally : quinn has never been warm and fuzzy with me , but , then again , she 's never been warm and fuzzy with anyone except for you and eric , so i did n't really take it personally 'cause i just thought , `` you know what ? no woman is ever gon na be good enough for her precious , darling wyatt . `` clearly ... no woman except flo . flo : i 'll have a coffee with almond milk . quinn : uh , yeah . i 'll have the same but with cream , and we 'll probably order food in a little bit . flo : thank you . quinn : oh . i can not believe this . flo : [ laughing ] i know . quinn : i have thought about you so much over the years , and here you are in l.a . flo : yeah , yeah . i was thinking about heading back to vegas , and then i ran in to wyatt . quinn : no , no , no ! you ca n't ! you ca n't ! this is meant to be ! flo : it really is the best thing that 's happened to me since i 've been here . quinn : i think it 's wonderful . and i 'm not the only one . i still know my son better than anyone . that has n't changed . flo : [ laughs ] quinn : and i can tell that he is thrilled to see you , too . fit me foundation flo : um , it has been so good to catch up with wyatt ... quinn : mm - hmm . flo : ... and to meet sally , too . quinn : yeah , yeah . i 'm just ... getting to know her myself . they have n't really been together that long . flo : well , i mean , they 've been nothing but generous , inviting me over to their house and wyatt being able to see me in his office . quinn : mm - hmm . well , that is my son -- as sweet and caring as ever . flo : he really is , is n't he ? quinn : well , he was never sweeter than he was when he was with you . flo : i kind of just think that 's how he is , right ? quinn : no , no , 'cause that 's what made you two a perfect couple . you and your mother are just the most generous people . oh . so , you said she 's good ? flo : she is . she 's just as you remember . quinn : and she 's still in marketing ? flo : yeah , a little . quinn : we were so busy . we were ... trying to support our families and -- and make a living and raise our kids . oh , god . you have no idea how -- how much we talked about you and wyatt . we planned your entire lives at your kitchen table . flo : it is crazy how things turned out . quinn : yeah . you running in to wyatt again after all these years . flo : yeah , and him being this high - powered executive with this beautiful office and gorgeous beach house . i mean , god , he 's not even wyatt fuller anymore . he 's wyatt spencer , of all things . quinn : i know . i know . it was a real turning point for wyatt when he -- when he met his father . i mean , meeting bill definitely changed his life . eric : sally was intrigued with the offer . she really was . ridge : well , you always say follow your instincts , so i did . i had to make an offer . eric : look , i think she would be standing here right now if this was purely a business decision . brooke : but it 's not , and we have to be sensitive to that . ridge : i get that , but wyatt wants what 's best for sally . he wants her to have a career , and ... i do n't know . i think she can have -- she can have it here , no ? eric : even wyatt is now working for his father . brooke : that 's right , and that could affect her decision . ridge : [ sighs ] there 's nothing better than working with the woman you love , and i love coming here in the morning , knowing i get to look at you all day . but sally -- she 's her own person . she 's got to make her own decision . eric : you 're not gon na let her say no , are you ? ridge : no . this is a golden opportunity for us and even better for her . i just hope she takes it . wyatt : what can i do to put my mom out of your mind ? sally : there 's not really much room for her in there right now , actually . wyatt : okay . i mean , have you been making plans for the , uh , spencer fashions line ? sally : yeah . that 's actually what i wanted to talk to you about . wyatt : okay . i mean , we have n't figured out the office - space situation yet , but if you want me to order you a new drafting table , i can do that . sally : um , wyatt , i - i would hold off on all of that . we need to discuss something ... something that could mean significant changes in my future ... and yours . wyatt : okay . sally : [ sighs ] i am so grateful ... for your love and support , wyatt . having you in my corner has changed ... the way i feel about myself and what i am capable of . the idea of -- of working here with you and creating ... a future together was really ... exciting to me . wyatt : `` was `` ? sally : i 'm reconsidering coming to spencer publications . quinn : i never wanted wyatt to know his father . flo : d - did you not get along or something ? quinn : well , he just was n't the kind of man that i wanted in wyatt 's life ... especially when he was young . i know . i know that 's hard to understand , keeping your son away from his father 's wealth and power , but ... there just -- there just was n't anything more important than wyatt 's well - being for me . flo : well , i mean , that was a long time ago . i 'm sure he 's changed since then , right ? quinn : [ chuckles ] well , bill likes to think so . [ both chuckle ] i mean ... i do n't know . i guess he has . but , i mean , it 's wyatt who 's really changed , right ? he 's grown up , so he can look out for himself . flo : you know , he wondered a lot about his dad when we were growing up . quinn : yeah , yeah . that 's another thing that you two had in common . neither of you knew your fathers . flo : i still don't . quinn : really ? ! oh , honey , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to bring up a touchy subject . flo : no , no , no . you didn't . it 's -- it 's not something i ever think about . quinn : you do n't ? i mean , you 're not curious ? even after all these years ? you never ... thought to ... find out who he is ? ridge : well , hats off to wyatt . he got sally pretty much everything she wanted over there . brooke : bill owed her that . eric : [ chuckling ] he sure does -- at least that . i mean , if it was n't for him , sally never would have lost spectra fashions . ridge : yeah . now she can start from scratch with no one to advise her . real nice . eric : wyatt helped quinn run her business for years . ridge : her business is -- that 's not -- that 's not running a fashion house , dad . he does n't know how to do that . and bill does n't know how to do that , either . brooke : yeah , but they would n't be running it . it would be sally 's company . ridge : it 's not sally 's company . it 's -- it 's bill 's company . and you know how he is . he 's an egomaniac . he 's gon na be all over that place , gon na touch everything . brooke : ridge , you like to have your hands in everything here . ridge : how is that the same thing ? that 's very different . i 'm a designer . i know what i 'm talking about . i - i -- everything i do is for the best of this company . and spencer -- all he wants is a good bottom line . he does n't care about sally . she 's just an employee to him . and what 's gon na happen if -- if she has a question about design or about fashion ? you 've seen how he dresses . what is he gon na do ? he dresses like -- like an unemployed pirate . brooke : ridge , his company publishes one of the world 's most respected fashion magazines . ridge : so what ? ! he does n't write it . he sells advertising . right ? the content comes from somewhere else , and sally , she -- she 's passionate about this business . she has fashion running through her blood . and wyatt loves her , and he wants her to have a shot . he wants her to do well . and he thinks it can happen at spencer . i just do n't think it can . the best thing for sally is to be right here with us . sally : you 're disappointed in me . wyatt : no , i - i 'm just -- i - i 'm confused . like , you said that you 're excited to work with me , but then now this ? sally : i did n't know this was gon na happen , okay ? nobody could have predicted . i was leaving , okay ? i was in ridge 's office , saying goodbye , when xander and tiffany barged in . they wore some of my athleticwear designs to lunch , and the most incredible thing happened . look . here . let me show you . i had tiffany send me the photo . wait . wyatt : oh , my god . is that ... ? sally : yes , and she 's getting ready to shoot a new music video , and she wants to wear my designs in it . wyatt : what ? sally : yeah . can you believe it ? right ? i - i mean , my designs on the biggest superstar in the entire world and all of her dancers , too . she loved them , wyatt , and she asked xander and tiffany who designed them , and they told her all about me and my connection to forrester , which got them even more excited . wyatt : that 's incredible . sally : ridge thought so , too . he asked me to stay . and he made me an incredible offer . and it 's like you said . you know , starting over at spencer -- it 's gon na be a process . it 's a big risk . and forrester -- they 're already a known successful fashion house , you know ? they already have the infrastructure and the experience . this could be a really good thing , wyatt . please say something . wyatt : we had a plan . sally : i know . wyatt : the two of us were gon na work here together to -- to rebuild the spectra legacy , and -- and one conversation with ridge and that just -- that all changes ? like , what about us , sally ? what about our future together ? quinn : i am so sorry . i - i - i did n't mean to pry or make you feel uncomfortable . flo : you didn't . quinn : i just assumed your mother would have told you by now . flo : my dad just is n't something we talk about . quinn : never ? i mean ... everybody wants to know where they come from , flo . flo : yeah . well , i 've , um -- i 've done some things in my life that make me question a lot about myself , about who i am , but my dad is just not one of those things i think about . he 's never been in my life . quinn : well , bill was never part of wyatt 's life , but he is now . flo : yeah , and it sounds like it turned out amazingly well , and i 'm so happy for wyatt , but let 's be honest . i mean , how often does your long - lost father turn out to be some billionaire ? quinn : [ chuckles ] never . flo : yeah . quinn : that never will ever happen to anyone ever again , ever . but it 's -- i mean , it 's not about money . it -- i do n't know . there are other reasons . flo : not for me . quinn : hmm . i told you that i did n't want ... bill to be a part of wyatt 's life , and i still think i made the right decision , you know , for the beginning part of his life , but , i mean , you said it yourself . wyatt has changed so much , and -- and -- and a lot of it for the better . i just ca n't help but think how your life could change if you knew who your father was . i mean ... imagine the impact . ridge : sally knows a good deal when she hears it . i think she 'll take mine . eric : i just hope this decision does n't drive a wedge between her and wyatt . wyatt : i risked my future at spencer here to make a place for you . sally : and i have never been so grateful . wyatt : yeah , but now you 're telling me you want something else . sally : no . i still want to revive spectra fashions and have my own collection . i just ca n't help but wonder ... if ridge is right . wyatt : you know he hates my father , right ? i mean , that 's not unusual because there 's a lot of people that hate my father , but -- but ridge is -- sally : not a fan . i know . and , honestly ... neither am i . wyatt : but this was a chance for you and my dad to get past all of that . sally : yeah , and maybe we would have , but it is more than that , wyatt . okay ? spencer publications is a media company . bill has never run a fashion house before in his life . wyatt : so what ? ! he owned a portion of forrester creations at one point . sally : yes , but he did n't build it from the ground up . wyatt : ugh ! sally : okay ? i know what that takes . even with all of your father 's money , there are still people to hire and equipment to buy and finding suppliers . wyatt : but you can do that . that 's what i 'm saying . i believe you can do that , and , plus , i was gon na help you anyway . sally : [ sighs ] and i love you for that , wyatt . but you understand that you 're the reason why i have both of these opportunities -- getting into forrester and this deal with your father . wyatt : he was gon na give you everything that you wanted here . you did n't think you were gon na be able to do that at forrester . sally : i know , but now i can . okay ? ridge is gon na give me this incredible opportunity . and he said that he would sweeten my deal . wyatt : oh . okay . so , all of a sudden , he realizes how valuable you are . okay . sally : it was a legitimate offer , wyatt . brooke and eric backed him up . wyatt : so , what did you -- what did you -- what did you say ? sally : i told them i had to talk to you . wyatt : [ sighs ] sally : i love you , wyatt . and the idea of working here and building a future together -- it is ... so tempting . but i just do n't know if i can pass up this opportunity to be an integral part of forrester creations . look , i - i - i understand if you 're upset with me , okay , or you feel like i 'm going back on my word . wyatt : no . i just ... i - i had all these plans for us . and not just the ones where i lock the office door and we get to be alone together . i 'm talking about your line ... and our future together . i ... i wanted to be a part of your passions and your dreams . and now you 're telling me you want something different . like , i - if you think ridge can do more for you over there , then -- sally : no one can do more for me than you have , wyatt . wyatt : yeah , but if this is what you want , if this is what you really want , what makes you happy and fulfilled , then ... i mean , i - i ... i ca n't tell you not to do it . but spencer is my family company . i have to be here . so it 's probably gon na change things for us . i mean , we 're not gon na be able to work together , and -- and ... [ sighs ] i - i am gon na be rooting for you now more than ever . trust me . i - i ... i want everything ... that you have ever wanted to accomplish , all the great things -- i want that to happen for you , whether it 's here or at forrester or it 's with a big celebrity name or not . i do n't care . i just -- i - i believe in you . i - i believe you 're gon na be a huge success . and ridge knows that , too . so , i mean , i understand why -- why he 's -- he wants to keep you . just -- just know that i 'll -- i 'm -- i 'm never gon na let you go . sally : [ scoffs ] oh , god . how did i get so lucky ? seriously , this whole thing with ridge and -- and this music video -- it felt like i was winning the lottery , but ... nothing compares to how i feel about you . wyatt , i am so thankful for your faith in me and your support ... and understanding . just when i thought i could n't love you any more , you go and you do something like this . i love you so much , wyatt . and i will never let you forget that . | eric tells ridge that he surprised brooke and him but he definitely thinks sally belongs at forrester . ridge says of course she does . spencer knows nothing about fashion and he would be lost in no time . and sally could be without a job . bill does not care about sally . he only cares about the bottom line . wyatt continues to admonish his mother that she owes sally an apology . she says she did not know sally was standing there and she was just so excited to see flo . flo apologies that he is caught in this and she and quinn leave . wyatt apologizes to sally and says his mother did not mean to hurt her or demean her . she says it is okay , that she is a tough cookie . quinn has lunch with flo and says despite all said she knows wyatt is delighted to see her . quinn keeps bringing up their past and says she and flo 's mother would sit at the kitchen table and plan their entire lives while working hard and trying to raise their children . she asks about flo 's mother and if she is still in marketing . flo is a little vague but nods sort of . and she can not believe wyatt is not a fuller anymore but a spencer . quinn says yes all changed when he met his father . | <s>[INST] ridge : you do agree with me asking sally to stay here , right ? eric : yes . i think it 's absolutely the right thing to do . you just surprised us both . i wonder if she 's going to accept . brooke : how could she not accept ? you just gave sally an opportunity to have a great future here at forrester creations . sally : you guys were just catching up . we will talk at home . wyatt : no , sally . stop . my mother and flo were just reminiscing about old times , and my mother clearly knows that i am in a committed relationship because we live together . flo : in such a beautiful home , and i - i ca n't thank you enough for having me over . it was really nice . quinn : aww . sally : it was our pleasure . wyatt : yeah , and -- and we 're hoping to have you over again , maybe , but i would like my mother to stop making things so awkward all the time . quinn : i was talking to flo . i did n't even know sally was there . wyatt : mom ! quinn : i am really sorry if you misconstrued what i said and took it as a slight . wyatt : could have just stopped at `` i 'm sorry , `` but ... quinn : oh , come on . sally knows that i was n't trying to denigrate whatever it is you two have with each other and hurt her feelings . i was just excited to see flo , you know ? and i think if anyone 's making this awkward , i 'd say it 's you . wyatt : mom ... sally : okay , look . i just needed to talk to wyatt . there was no one at reception . the door was open . i thought you would be alone . flo : well , we 're gon na head out , then , anyway . sally : no , no , no . i 'm not trying to run you off . quinn : no , no , no , no . you two need to talk . sally : [ sighs ] quinn : [ clears throat ] flo : i - i really hope i can see you again . sally : soon . quinn : yes , soon ! do you have time for coffee ? i want to have coffee with you . i love you , sweetheart . mm . so handsome . wyatt : yeah , great . quinn : okay . bye ! wyatt : thanks for a fun day . sally : well , i guess it 's pretty clear who your mother 's favorite is . wyatt : my mother did n't mean to hurt your feelings , okay ? sally : look , i 'm a tough cookie , wyatt , okay ? i 'm not scared of your mother or a little competition . what i do care about , though , is if you and your ex were perfect back in the day . it 's how quinn said it . wyatt : well , i - i had n't even told her that flo was in town . like , it surprised her . that 's all . sally : try `` elated . `` wyatt : [ groans ] okay , fine . a little bit . but that is no reflection on how my mother feels about you . sally : quinn has never been warm and fuzzy with me , but , then again , she 's never been warm and fuzzy with anyone except for you and eric , so i did n't really take it personally 'cause i just thought , `` you know what ? no woman is ever gon na be good enough for her precious , darling wyatt . `` clearly ... no woman except flo . flo : i 'll have a coffee with almond milk . quinn : uh , yeah . i 'll have the same but with cream , and we 'll probably order food in a little bit . flo : thank you . quinn : oh . i can not believe this . flo : [ laughing ] i know . quinn : i have thought about you so much over the years , and here you are in l.a . flo : yeah , yeah . i was thinking about heading back to vegas , and then i ran in to wyatt . quinn : no , no , no ! you ca n't ! you ca n't ! this is meant to be ! flo : it really is the best thing that 's happened to me since i 've been here . quinn : i think it 's wonderful . and i 'm not the only one . i still know my son better than anyone . that has n't changed . flo : [ laughs ] quinn : and i can tell that he is thrilled to see you , too . fit me foundation flo : um , it has been so good to catch up with wyatt ... quinn : mm - hmm . flo : ... and to meet sally , too . quinn : yeah , yeah . i 'm just ... getting to know her myself . they have n't really been together that long . flo : well , i mean , they 've been nothing but generous , inviting me over to their house and wyatt being able to see me in his office . quinn : mm - hmm . well , that is my son -- as sweet and caring as ever . flo : he really is , is n't he ? quinn : well , he was never sweeter than he was when he was with you . flo : i kind of just think that 's how he is , right ? quinn : no , no , 'cause that 's what made you two a perfect couple . you and your mother are just the most generous people . oh . so , you said she 's good ? flo : she is . she 's just as you remember . quinn : and she 's still in marketing ? flo : yeah , a little . quinn : we were so busy . we were ... trying to support our families and -- and make a living and raise our kids . oh , god . you have no idea how -- how much we talked about you and wyatt . we planned your entire lives at your kitchen table . flo : it is crazy how things turned out . quinn : yeah . you running in to wyatt again after all these years . flo : yeah , and him being this high - powered executive with this beautiful office and gorgeous beach house . i mean , god , he 's not even wyatt fuller anymore . he 's wyatt spencer , of all things . quinn : i know . i know . it was a real turning point for wyatt when he -- when he met his father . i mean , meeting bill definitely changed his life . eric : sally was intrigued with the offer . she really was . ridge : well , you always say follow your instincts , so i did . i had to make an offer . eric : look , i think she would be standing here right now if this was purely a business decision . brooke : but it 's not , and we have to be sensitive to that . ridge : i get that , but wyatt wants what 's best for sally . he wants her to have a career , and ... i do n't know . i think she can have -- she can have it here , no ? eric : even wyatt is now working for his father . brooke : that 's right , and that could affect her decision . ridge : [ sighs ] there 's nothing better than working with the woman you love , and i love coming here in the morning , knowing i get to look at you all day . but sally -- she 's her own person . she 's got to make her own decision . eric : you 're not gon na let her say no , are you ? ridge : no . this is a golden opportunity for us and even better for her . i just hope she takes it . wyatt : what can i do to put my mom out of your mind ? sally : there 's not really much room for her in there right now , actually . wyatt : okay . i mean , have you been making plans for the , uh , spencer fashions line ? sally : yeah . that 's actually what i wanted to talk to you about . wyatt : okay . i mean , we have n't figured out the office - space situation yet , but if you want me to order you a new drafting table , i can do that . sally : um , wyatt , i - i would hold off on all of that . we need to discuss something ... something that could mean significant changes in my future ... and yours . wyatt : okay . sally : [ sighs ] i am so grateful ... for your love and support , wyatt . having you in my corner has changed ... the way i feel about myself and what i am capable of . the idea of -- of working here with you and creating ... a future together was really ... exciting to me . wyatt : `` was `` ? sally : i 'm reconsidering coming to spencer publications . quinn : i never wanted wyatt to know his father . flo : d - did you not get along or something ? quinn : well , he just was n't the kind of man that i wanted in wyatt 's life ... especially when he was young . i know . i know that 's hard to understand , keeping your son away from his father 's wealth and power , but ... there just -- there just was n't anything more important than wyatt 's well - being for me . flo : well , i mean , that was a long time ago . i 'm sure he 's changed since then , right ? quinn : [ chuckles ] well , bill likes to think so . [ both chuckle ] i mean ... i do n't know . i guess he has . but , i mean , it 's wyatt who 's really changed , right ? he 's grown up , so he can look out for himself . flo : you know , he wondered a lot about his dad when we were growing up . quinn : yeah , yeah . that 's another thing that you two had in common . neither of you knew your fathers . flo : i still don't . quinn : really ? ! oh , honey , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to bring up a touchy subject . flo : no , no , no . you didn't . it 's -- it 's not something i ever think about . quinn : you do n't ? i mean , you 're not curious ? even after all these years ? you never ... thought to ... find out who he is ? ridge : well , hats off to wyatt . he got sally pretty much everything she wanted over there . brooke : bill owed her that . eric : [ chuckling ] he sure does -- at least that . i mean , if it was n't for him , sally never would have lost spectra fashions . ridge : yeah . now she can start from scratch with no one to advise her . real nice . eric : wyatt helped quinn run her business for years . ridge : her business is -- that 's not -- that 's not running a fashion house , dad . he does n't know how to do that . and bill does n't know how to do that , either . brooke : yeah , but they would n't be running it . it would be sally 's company . ridge : it 's not sally 's company . it 's -- it 's bill 's company . and you know how he is . he 's an egomaniac . he 's gon na be all over that place , gon na touch everything . brooke : ridge , you like to have your hands in everything here . ridge : how is that the same thing ? that 's very different . i 'm a designer . i know what i 'm talking about . i - i -- everything i do is for the best of this company . and spencer -- all he wants is a good bottom line . he does n't care about sally . she 's just an employee to him . and what 's gon na happen if -- if she has a question about design or about fashion ? you 've seen how he dresses . what is he gon na do ? he dresses like -- like an unemployed pirate . brooke : ridge , his company publishes one of the world 's most respected fashion magazines . ridge : so what ? ! he does n't write it . he sells advertising . right ? the content comes from somewhere else , and sally , she -- she 's passionate about this business . she has fashion running through her blood . and wyatt loves her , and he wants her to have a shot . he wants her to do well . and he thinks it can happen at spencer . i just do n't think it can . the best thing for sally is to be right here with us . sally : you 're disappointed in me . wyatt : no , i - i 'm just -- i - i 'm confused . like , you said that you 're excited to work with me , but then now this ? sally : i did n't know this was gon na happen , okay ? nobody could have predicted . i was leaving , okay ? i was in ridge 's office , saying goodbye , when xander and tiffany barged in . they wore some of my athleticwear designs to lunch , and the most incredible thing happened . look . here . let me show you . i had tiffany send me the photo . wait . wyatt : oh , my god . is that ... ? sally : yes , and she 's getting ready to shoot a new music video , and she wants to wear my designs in it . wyatt : what ? sally : yeah . can you believe it ? right ? i - i mean , my designs on the biggest superstar in the entire world and all of her dancers , too . she loved them , wyatt , and she asked xander and tiffany who designed them , and they told her all about me and my connection to forrester , which got them even more excited . wyatt : that 's incredible . sally : ridge thought so , too . he asked me to stay . and he made me an incredible offer . and it 's like you said . you know , starting over at spencer -- it 's gon na be a process . it 's a big risk . and forrester -- they 're already a known successful fashion house , you know ? they already have the infrastructure and the experience . this could be a really good thing , wyatt . please say something . wyatt : we had a plan . sally : i know . wyatt : the two of us were gon na work here together to -- to rebuild the spectra legacy , and -- and one conversation with ridge and that just -- that all changes ? like , what about us , sally ? what about our future together ? quinn : i am so sorry . i - i - i did n't mean to pry or make you feel uncomfortable . flo : you didn't . quinn : i just assumed your mother would have told you by now . flo : my dad just is n't something we talk about . quinn : never ? i mean ... everybody wants to know where they come from , flo . flo : yeah . well , i 've , um -- i 've done some things in my life that make me question a lot about myself , about who i am , but my dad is just not one of those things i think about . he 's never been in my life . quinn : well , bill was never part of wyatt 's life , but he is now . flo : yeah , and it sounds like it turned out amazingly well , and i 'm so happy for wyatt , but let 's be honest . i mean , how often does your long - lost father turn out to be some billionaire ? quinn : [ chuckles ] never . flo : yeah . quinn : that never will ever happen to anyone ever again , ever . but it 's -- i mean , it 's not about money . it -- i do n't know . there are other reasons . flo : not for me . quinn : hmm . i told you that i did n't want ... bill to be a part of wyatt 's life , and i still think i made the right decision , you know , for the beginning part of his life , but , i mean , you said it yourself . wyatt has changed so much , and -- and -- and a lot of it for the better . i just ca n't help but think how your life could change if you knew who your father was . i mean ... imagine the impact . ridge : sally knows a good deal when she hears it . i think she 'll take mine . eric : i just hope this decision does n't drive a wedge between her and wyatt . wyatt : i risked my future at spencer here to make a place for you . sally : and i have never been so grateful . wyatt : yeah , but now you 're telling me you want something else . sally : no . i still want to revive spectra fashions and have my own collection . i just ca n't help but wonder ... if ridge is right . wyatt : you know he hates my father , right ? i mean , that 's not unusual because there 's a lot of people that hate my father , but -- but ridge is -- sally : not a fan . i know . and , honestly ... neither am i . wyatt : but this was a chance for you and my dad to get past all of that . sally : yeah , and maybe we would have , but it is more than that , wyatt . okay ? spencer publications is a media company . bill has never run a fashion house before in his life . wyatt : so what ? ! he owned a portion of forrester creations at one point . sally : yes , but he did n't build it from the ground up . wyatt : ugh ! sally : okay ? i know what that takes . even with all of your father 's money , there are still people to hire and equipment to buy and finding suppliers . wyatt : but you can do that . that 's what i 'm saying . i believe you can do that , and , plus , i was gon na help you anyway . sally : [ sighs ] and i love you for that , wyatt . but you understand that you 're the reason why i have both of these opportunities -- getting into forrester and this deal with your father . wyatt : he was gon na give you everything that you wanted here . you did n't think you were gon na be able to do that at forrester . sally : i know , but now i can . okay ? ridge is gon na give me this incredible opportunity . and he said that he would sweeten my deal . wyatt : oh . okay . so , all of a sudden , he realizes how valuable you are . okay . sally : it was a legitimate offer , wyatt . brooke and eric backed him up . wyatt : so , what did you -- what did you -- what did you say ? sally : i told them i had to talk to you . wyatt : [ sighs ] sally : i love you , wyatt . and the idea of working here and building a future together -- it is ... so tempting . but i just do n't know if i can pass up this opportunity to be an integral part of forrester creations . look , i - i - i understand if you 're upset with me , okay , or you feel like i 'm going back on my word . wyatt : no . i just ... i - i had all these plans for us . and not just the ones where i lock the office door and we get to be alone together . i 'm talking about your line ... and our future together . i ... i wanted to be a part of your passions and your dreams . and now you 're telling me you want something different . like , i - if you think ridge can do more for you over there , then -- sally : no one can do more for me than you have , wyatt . wyatt : yeah , but if this is what you want , if this is what you really want , what makes you happy and fulfilled , then ... i mean , i - i ... i ca n't tell you not to do it . but spencer is my family company . i have to be here . so it 's probably gon na change things for us . i mean , we 're not gon na be able to work together , and -- and ...

patrick : hey , that was pretty cool of your teacher to come up with a play about recycling , was n't it ? emma : yeah . i 'm good for the environment . patrick : yeah , you are . emma : sabrina ! sabrina : hey , emma ! emma : i miss you . when are you gon na babysit me again ? sonny : well , you 've been having a rough time , and i sympathize , that 's all . connie : really ? no angle ? nothing ? sonny : from one parent to another . i was a little nervous leaving you alone with olivia . i thought there might be some bloodshed . connie : no , we had a decent time . talked about a few things . sonny : yeah ? what things ? connie : you . sonny : what about me ? connie : not just you . you and me . spinelli : it happened on new year 's eve . ellie : okay . well , you already told me you spent the night with maxie . spinelli : yes . but what i did n't tell you -- is that i slept with her . ellie : you slept with maxie ? spinelli : i did . ellie : no . spinelli : yes . ellie : no . britt : my suggestion -- start with what you 're gon na tell dante and lulu . lulu : hey . hi . uh , tell dante and lulu what ? maxie : you 're back ! lulu : yeah . we came straight from the airport here . maxie : well , how 's your dad ? did you find him ? lulu : uh , leave it to him to get shot in a prison riot . maxie : oh , my god . is he okay ? lulu : he was shot in the arm , but he 's fine . i was trying to bring him here to get checked out , but he insisted on going straight to see anna . anna : i did n't want to tell you over the phone , but , uh , robert 's in a coma . luke : a coma ? anna : yeah . yeah . holly 's with him . luke : how did it happen ? anna : it was that woman at the clinic -- dr. obrecht . do you remember her ? she injured him . luke : oh , god , yes . you do n't forget a character like that . anna : exactly . luke : what were you doing back there ? anna : well -- duke : rescuing me . luke : faison , you son of a bitch . you stay away from her ! anna : let him go ! duke : i 'm not faison ! luke : halloween 's over . get the mask off . anna : it 's not a mask . luke : but you said faison was using a lavery mask . anna : yes . well , how else could he do it without duke ? luke : duke ? what ? you 're saying lavery is still alive ? anna : yes . this is duke lavery . maxie : well , you must be relieved that you found luke and that he 's home . lulu : we 're very relieved . steven : hey . dante : hey . maxie : so , a - a prison riot ? how 'd luke get messed up in something like that ? lulu : this is a really long story , and it 's not important . how are you ? maxie : obviously , i 'm great . i 'm standing here . so , luke got shot ? is it bad ? lulu : dr. westbourne , you said that maxie needed to tell us something about the baby . maxie : the baby is fine . lulu : i 'm sensing a `` but `` in there . maxie : do n't be silly . `` but `` what ? what could be wrong ? lulu : i do n't know . you 're acting really weird right now , and you were acting really weird on the phone . maxie : you called me from a turkish prison , and you think i was acting weird ? dante : all righty . so , it 's good to be back . maxie , we 're really happy everything 's going well with you . lulu : is she telling the truth ? dante : okay , we just talked . we were gon na try and back off a little bit . maxie : oh , my god . are you seriously subjecting me to one of olivia 's psychic screenings ? 'cause that 's rude . olivia : do n't worry , honey . i got nothing . steven : as perceptive as olivia can be , if you want accurate medical information , you 've got your doctor right here . lulu : is everything okay with the baby ? spinelli : as painful as it is for you to hear it and -- as painful as it is for me to say it -- i - i - i slept with maxie on new year 's eve . ellie : but why ? spinelli : well -- y - you and i agreed that if -- if you did n't show up on the hospital roof at the appointed time , it would be a signal that you did n't want to be with me , and so when you did n't appear , i came to the lamentable and erroneous conclusion that we were over , and i - i was somewhat inebriated because i 'd imbibed peppermint schnapps in an attempt to keep warm . and then in my despair , i finished the bottle and became thoroughly pixilated . ellie : and then what ? you thought , `` oh , here 's my chance ! i 'm just gon na go have sex with maxie `` ? ! spinelli : no . no . no . no . i - i only wanted you . but -- but you were n't there . ellie : so , instead of trying to look for me , you just scamper off to maxie ? spinelli : no , ellie . there was no scampering . i - i - i tried to call you , as your phone records will attest , but then i -- i - i took you -- i took you at your word . and in my admittedly fuzzy state , i -- i felt my only recourse was to respect your decision and consider our coupledom done . ellie : and then what ? how did you wind up in bed with maxie ? ! you want to be honest ? ! out with it ! i want the entire story -- every gory detail ! sonny : you gon na tell me what you and liv were saying about you and me , or -- connie : no , it 's nothing . it 's just girl talk . sonny : okay . connie : no , i was just saying that , you know , you 're a hard man to figure out . sonny : i 'm a -- i 'm a hard man to figure out ? connie : yeah . because i treat you like dirt and you 're here . sonny : oh . connie : ever since the accident , you 've been nothing but good to me . you paid my bail . you helped me with my son , convinced me to let him go . you even made sure i had a few minutes with him at the end to say goodbye . why ? why are you suddenly here in my corner ? sonny : are you giving me a hard time because i 'm treating you like a human being ? connie : no . [ sighs ] i 'm trying to tell you that -- i owe you . sabrina : you have n't told her . emma : told me what ? patrick : i was waiting for the right time . sabrina : i think it needs to be now so there are no unrealistic expectations and no one gets disappointed . patrick : right . um , hey , listen . uh , sabrina 's not gon na be able to babysit you anymore . emma : why ? sabrina : okay , okay . dr. drake said that i - i tried to kiss him ? britt : it was highly inappropriate . i mean , how can you expect him to keep that to himself ? sabrina : but that 's not at all what happened . britt : well , it 's how patrick saw it . bottom line , sabrina -- you 're making patrick very uncomfortable . emma : do n't you like us anymore ? what 's today 's dare ? sabrina : emma , of course i like you . i love you . emma : then why ca n't you come over anymore ? patrick : emma , sabrina 's really busy . she 's working at the hospital and she 's studying for her nurse 's exam , so she just does n't have enough time to babysit right now . emma : but what about the nurses ' ball ? you said we would all be in it together . are you too busy for that now , too ? britt : the baby maxie 's carrying is doing fine . there 's absolutely nothing wrong with this baby . maxie : see ? so , could you please just relax a little -- please , please ? i mean , you 're my best friend and i love you , but you 're taking hovering to a whole new level . lulu : i am so sorry . i just worry . i just w -- i just want everything to be okay . dante : okay . maybe it would help maxie 's stress level if we did n't interrogate her -- lulu : okay , you do n't have to say , `` we . `` we know it 's me . i 'm trying to relax . olivia : how 'bout if we just rely on dr. westbourne for all of our pregnancy updates ? 'cause i 'm thinking she 's probably a lot more reliable than my visions , so -- steven : can i quote you on that ? olivia : [ chuckles ] dante : so , you guys were talking about something . you said maxie had something to tell us . spinelli : i - i was on the hospital roof , a - alone , in despair , clutching my near empty bottle of peppermint schnapps , my life in shambles , a -- ellie : okay , cut to the chase . when did maxie show up ? spinelli : well , midnight had come and gone . i was -- again , alone on the roof , um , contemplating the uncaring stars . ellie : [ sighs ] spinelli : and i heard footsteps , and i leapt up because i thought -- i thought it was you . but it turned out to be maxie . ellie : [ sighs ] i knew it . i knew it . maxie came looking for you . spinelli : no . in fact , she was quite surprised to see me . ellie : no , she was n't ! she knew that you and i had planned a rendezvous on the roof ! she knew that i was on my way to see you ! oh , my god . [ gasps ] i went to my room to get ready , and i left maxie on the couch , and while i was showering and drying my hair , she knew that i could n't hear what she was up to . spinelli : okay . i 'm sorry . i do n't understand how that relates to my encounter with her hours later on the roof . ellie : oh , my god . maxie obviously tampered with my car . she arranged to come in my place so that while i was getting mowed down by connie falconeri 's car , she was having sex with you ! spinelli : ellie , that 's -- that 's -- that 's not true . i mean , first , maxie does n't know the difference between a spark plug and a radiator hose , but more importantly , look -- no , she would not -- she would not sabotage you or me in such a manner . ellie : you know maxie better than i do . can you honestly look me in the eye and promise me that she would n't do anything underhanded to get her own way ? sonny : forget it , connie . you do n't owe me anything . connie : i - i do . i owe you a very big thank you for what you did for me . okay , maybe you did n't do it for me . maybe you were being nice because you thought kate was gon na come back . i do n't care . whatever . but i was falling down , and you helped me up . sonny : i can be ruthless , right ? but i 'm capable of compassion . you were hurting , and i wanted to help . connie : and i owe you a thank you . sonny : no , you do n't owe me anything . connie : sonny , let me tell you that i want to thank you , please ! i do n't say , `` thank you `` that often . sonny : okay . connie : thank you ! sonny : okay . i - i -- connie : geez . that 's not how i meant to say it . thank you , sonny . anna : no , faison is in a cell in geneva , and if you do n't believe me , then call interpol . oh , better yet , go online , because his capture made all the european papers . luke : and there 's no chance that this could be another mind game ? anna : no , no . there is n't , really . i mean , i can understand why you would doubt me , 'cause i have plenty of reasons to doubt myself , but this -- this is duke . duke : i - i apologize for the confusion . anna : it 's not your fault . it 's nobody 's fault . we 've all just been faison 's puppets . it 's going to take us a while to adjust . luke : well , how did this happen , and how do you know that this is the real guy ? anna : well , because faison said that duke was in a prison in turkey , and , remember , that story checked out . that 's because he was . he was there . duke : yeah . for two decades . i was supposed to have entered the witness protection program , but it was a trap , so i was left to rot in jail . anna : but faison found him first . duke : well , he did , and , as a matter of fact , i was grateful when he first took me to switzerland because i was in pretty bad shape . i - i - i needed medical attention , and i also needed physical therapy , but then when faison introduced himself to me , i realized that my salvation had come at a very -- at a very high price . anna : and , you see , then faison -- he made a mold of his face , and they duplicated his fingerprints . faison studied his mannerisms , the way he talked , and he got all these personal details about our life together , and -- duke : i also fed him some false memories . i wanted to send clues to anna . but , uh -- he was pretty determined . he was obsessed , and he was convinced that his plan was gon na work . he was convinced that anna would accept him as me and he would take his place in my life -- assume my place beside anna . anna : and i was -- i was vulnerable . and he knew that . and he fed me a lie that i wanted to believe . luke : there 's no way you could have seen this coming . anna : well , you did . duke : anna told me that you were the first to suspect that faison was an imposter . it 's thanks to you that i 'm here . luke : i just wish i could have been in switzerland for the takedown . i would have loved to have been the one to rip the mask off that maniac 's head and expose him for what he is . duke : it 's because of you that i 'm here and , more importantly , that anna is free and safe . i thank you for that . i thank you most sincerely . sabrina : of course you 're gon na be in the nurses ' ball . it 's to honor your mommy . we could n't think of having a ball without dr. robin scorpio - drake 's little girl . emma : will you and me and daddy all be in it together ? patrick : [ chuckling ] hey . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i - i , um -- i do n't -- i do n't know if we 're gon na be performing as a group . i 'm gon na have to be running around , making sure everything 's going the way it 's supposed to go . but -- but you and your daddy are definitely gon na be our guests of honor , okay ? patrick : yes . we will see sabrina at the nurses ' ball , i promise . we just have to figure out all the details first , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . sabrina : okay . so , right now , i have to go get my food , but it was really great seeing you . i miss you . patrick : okay . come on . come and finish your hot chocolate . it 's gon na get cold . emma : i want sabrina to be my babysitter . patrick : i understand . i like sabrina , too . but she needs time to study , all right ? you ca n't ask her to take care of us and forget about nursing , can we ? emma : she could study while she babysits . i 'll be really , really quiet . patrick : [ chuckles ] you 're so sweet . we 'll find somebody great to babysit you , i promise . but maybe -- maybe we wo n't need a babysitter as much . maybe next time i go out with britt , you can come with us and we can do something fun . like , we can go ice skating or maybe we can go to the ballet . emma : i do n't like britt . patrick : why would you say that ? baby , i think you just need to spend more time together . emma : no , we do n't . patrick : emma , what 's going on ? why do n't you like britt ? emma : 'cause she 's mean . britt : maxie and i were discussing some bloodwork that just came back . i want to up her dosage of folic acid . lulu : oh . is something wrong ? britt : oh , it 's pretty standard . maxie : dr westbourne 's taking great care of me . she knows how much this baby means to all of us . lulu : but you were gon na notify us that you were changing her dose . dante : i think we just need to take a step back , baby . that 's all . maxie : yeah . dante 's right . it 's not rocket science . it 's just green vegetables and orange juice . britt : and maxie does n't want to worry you . and as i reminded her , you and dante are also my patients , and you 're entitled to all information pertinent to this pregnancy . olivia : mother of god . not you again ! spinelli : it 's true that maxie has a history of being somewhat calculating , even a schemer at times , but i assure you she did not come to the hospital roof in a deliberate attempt to subvert you -- on the contrary . look , maxie was terrified . she was afraid that a tangle with a dog had inadvertently caused harm to the baby , but , i mean , everything was fine . she just came to the roof to calm down . ellie : and have sex with you ? ! that is so disgusting ! spinelli : it was a grievous error in judgment , and it -- it would n't have happened if she had n't been so emotional and i had n't been so drunk that i could n't see straight . ellie : ugh ! just give me a break ! maxie had only recently been implanted with dante and lulu 's embryo , okay ? she just found out she was pregnant on christmas eve ! she knew that having sex was contraindicated . you 're supposed to refrain from that so that you do n't interfere with the procedure . spinelli : well , fortunately , i mean , the baby 's fine , and so is maxie . ellie : that 's great . you should just go be with her , because you obviously want to . spinelli : no , ellie . i - i want -- i want you . ellie : stop -- lying to me . stop telling me what you think i should hear , because it 's not making anything better ! it 's just making everything worse ! you still want maxie -- so much so that you did n't even hesitate to have intercourse with her ! spinelli : tell me what i can do to make it better . ellie : you want to know what you can do ? get out . spinelli : come on . we have to talk about this . ellie : no . you know what ? if you wo n't leave , then i 'm going to . spinelli : ellie , stop . stop . sonny : i 'm gon na go check on kristina , so if you need anything , i 'll be back . connie : all right , sonny . just walk away . just -- walk away from me like i 'm poison . sonny : that 's not what i 'm doing . connie : no , you are looking for kate . but you did n't find kate . sonny : [ sighs ] connie : you found me . luke : i 'm sorry . i 've never been one to shake hands and be a gentleman . duke : well , at the very least , you can accept my thanks for saving my life . luke : it never entered my mind . you were never part of my equation . anna : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? he has n't done anything wrong . luke : no ? are you still in love with her ? duke : i most certainly am still in love with her . the thought of anna kept me alive . anna : [ sighs ] luke : well , you 're not the only one . all that time over there , i did a lot of thinking . you and i have n't exactly lived blameless lives , and i think that 's why we understand each other . that 's why this works . but it 's more than companionship and understanding . i 've realized , anna -- i 'm in love with you . which makes us adversaries until the lady decides which one she wants , if she has n't already decided . it seems our angels have been busy building a new , anna : well , thank you . that 's great . i 'm allowed to decide . why do n't we just do pistols at dawn ? luke : look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . anna : yes , you are . you 're putting me on the spot . luke : well , let 's -- why do n't we just go home alone and talk this thing out ? anna : no . i moved out . luke : what ? why ? anna : well , i moved out because you went to dig up dirt on him , and i told you -- i explicitly said do n't , and then you got caught and you sent robert , and i just was done with the whole thing . luke : but i was right ! duke : actually , he was right . luke : when i need your backup , i 'll ask for it . we were working things out , anna . look , i -- robert forgave me for sending him off on that wild goose chase after a kid that was n't his own , and i came back and i wanted to work it out with you , and we would have , i think , except that faison showed up with this guy 's face and a bunch of memories of your long - ago romance . anna : are you sure that you do n't resent me for just ignoring you and getting caught up in the whole thing ? luke : i do n't resent you . i 'm in love with you . i just want us to get back to where we were . anna : so much has happened , i do n't even know what might have been at this point . i really do n't . luke : come on . we were on the brink of something important , something real . you ca n't tell me that that does n't count for something . anna : [ sighs ] connie : admit it . you do n't see me . when you look at me , you want to see kate looking back . sonny : i see you , connie . you 've been through so much facing what no parent should have to face . i 'm just trying to help you . that 's all . connie : maybe you are , but you still want to see kate looking back at you . sonny : i miss kate . i 'm not gon na pretend i do n't . why are you bringing it up ? connie : because i do n't know what -- what are we doing ? what do you want from me ? what do you expect ? sonny : you 're hurting , right ? i do n't want to see you hurt anymore . connie : well , then , tell me the truth . sonny : when you love someone and they disappear , you do n't stop loving them . yes , when i look at you -- i want to see kate , and she 's not there . and it hurts . spinelli : ellie , come on . you could hurt yourself and undermine all the -- ellie : i 'm already hurt ! my body and my heart are both shattered into a million pieces ! spinelli : look , you ca n't let me upset you like this . you -- you -- you could undo all the -- ellie : damian , you promised me this would n't happen . i put my faith in you , and you lied to my face about your feelings for maxie and then you slept with her behind my back ! spinelli : you 're angry . i understand . ellie : i 'm furious ! spinelli : yes , and i understand , and i - i wo n't try to reason with you . ellie : oh , excuse me ! i 'm being unreasonable now ? ! damian , i got hit by a car while you were cheating on me ! spinelli : you have every right to be upset and angry . i made a mistake . and i wish i could take it back , but that does n't change the way i feel about you . ellie : spinelli , please -- leave me alone . spinelli : your request is unambiguous and understandable , given the unfortunate circumstances . the jackal knows when he 's not wanted . but , ellie , please know this . i love you . and i am -- deeply sorry that i hurt you . olivia : i thought i 'd seen the last of you , you filthy little mongrel . you stay away from maxie ! dante : what , is this the dog thing again ? really ? steven : liv , are you seeing the dog again ? olivia : you do n't see it ? it 's right there ! okay , now it 's gone . lulu : and you wonder why i worry . olivia : i 'm sorry , everyone . i saw it . i saw maxie 's baby as a dog . patrick : i think you need to give britt a chance , 'cause she 's smart , she 's very funny , and she 's very nice , and i think once you get to know her , i think you 'll like her . emma : i do n't want to get to know britt . patrick : hey , we talked about this , right -- about judging people before you know them , like the new kid at school . you did n't think you were gon na be friends , and then you guys became friends once you got to know her . emma : britt 's not a kid . she 's a lady . and i do not want her to be my new mommy . patrick : okay . emma , nobody said anything about a new mommy , okay ? i did n't say that . emma : my real mommy 's in heaven . patrick : come here . i know you miss your mommy . i miss her , too . but that does n't mean that we ca n't get to know people or let them get to know us , all right ? britt 's just a friend , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . you finish your hot chocolate , and we 'll go home . emma : if i have to have a new mommy , i want it to be sabrina . patrick : emma . sabrina : [ gasps ] dante : whatever -- okay ? this vision means , it 's not literal . lulu : i know ! if i was carrying this child , it would be different . i would feel the child inside of me , and i would know that everything is okay , but i am outside of this process , and i have to ask questions to be a part of it and i have to take everyone 's word for it -- maxie 's and olivia 's and dr. westbourne 's . dante : hey , hang on . hang on . stop . you do n't need to buy in to it , though , okay ? it 's not like this baby is gon na be a dog . britt : okay , that ca n't be a serious question . lulu : i know maxie is not going to give birth to a dog . it 's just -- my mother - in - law is a very grounded , very smart woman , and she had a medical thing where she has these premonitions and they come true . olivia : but , as dante pointed out , my premonitions are subject to interpretation , so -- lulu : look , when maxie chased after the dog and tripped , i thought that 's what your vision was , but you 're still seeing the dog , so it 's got me a little freaked out . steven : liv , was it the same dog ? britt : okay , you ca n't be serious . olivia : well , it was a little puppy -- very cute and very little , fluffy , like a little wolf . lulu : it 's a wolf ? olivia : well , not like a wolf exactly but like a little -- something wild , you know ? like , i 'm not a big fan of the nature programs , but like a little cub of some kind . i 'm not exactly sure what kind . maxie : a jackal . [ washer and dryer sounds ] maxie : a jackal . that explains it . steven : explains what ? maxie : nothing . um , you know , you guys just got back from liberating your dad from a turkish prison , which i 'm not complaining about . this is your dad , and this is always the way he 's acted . but you can tell that it 's stressing you out , and , in turn , that 's stressing me out , and i know intellectually you do n't mean to come off as a paranoid control freak who 's questioning my every move , but you are , and i do n't think that 's healthy for any of us , so maybe we should just take a little break , right , dante ? dante : okay . yeah . i think a break would be good . we can all decompress a little bit , right ? lulu : i get it . i 'm being borderline ridiculous . i would just like to know what this wolf - puppy stuff is . maxie : lulu , drop it with the wolf puppy , okay ? i 'm not giving birth to a dog . dante : okay . she does n't think that . we 're sorry , okay ? let 's stop . maxie : let 's just focus on the good stuff , okay ? your dad 's home . i 'm fine . it 's all good . dante : okay . i 'm tired . i know you 're tired , so why do n't we get out of here ? lulu : yes . okay . i 'm sorry . i 'll try to be more rational . maxie : it 's okay . patrick : okay . come on . let go of sabrina . emma : no . sabrina : emma , honey , you have to listen to your daddy , okay ? patrick : honey , you want a time - out ? emma : i do n't care . if i have to have a new mommy , i want it to be sabrina . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : emma -- sabrina : honey , i miss you , too , okay ? but i 'm not going anywhere . maybe elizabeth can bring you by the nurses ' station and we can have a visit or something . does that sound good ? emma : but why ca n't you come to my house ? patrick : okay , come on . let sabrina go . go sit down and finish your hot chocolate . emma : no . patrick : emma , go sit down . come on -- now . sabrina : [ chuckles softly ] patrick : i 'm sorry . that was -- sabrina : no , it 's okay . do n't worry about it . patrick : i want her to have her feelings , but i think this is really confusing for her . sabrina : every kid has meltdowns , even one as awesome as emma . patrick : i know she 's gon na miss seeing you , but that thing that she was saying about the new mommy -- it 's just -- sabrina : do n't worry about it . kids say things . patrick : yeah , they do . anna : you 've given me a lot to think about -- yeah , certainly . luke : oh , there 's a dodge if ever i 've heard one . anna : i do n't know what i feel . i 'm still grieving robin . and i 'm incredibly humiliated and angry by what happened with faison . but i 'm so grateful that you stand by me . and -- and i 'm incredibly relieved that duke 's alive . so , i do n't know what i 'm feeling . i 'm -- i 'm all over the place . duke : i think we both need to back off . anna : yes , you do . luke : speak for yourself , friend . duke : should i be grateful also now you 've upgraded me from adversary to friend ? anna : i would love it if you could be friends . luke : well , that 's not gon na happen until you give me an answer . anna : i 'm in no condition to make a commitment to anyone . luke : okay . you know where i stand . the ball 's in your court . anna : [ sighs ] connie : wow , is n't that a kick in the teeth , huh ? here i thought we were getting somewhere . sonny : we are . connie : yeah . a couple days ago , i could n't stand the sight of you , and then i kill my kid . sonny : okay , you did n't kill trey . you took him off life support . there 's a difference . connie : it was my fault , sonny . i caused the accident that put him on life support . and i could n't face that fact , let alone take him off the machines , and then you -- you showed up and you took my hand and you helped me through it . and you say you 'd do that for anyone , but i do n't think that 's true . i think you did that for me . you did n't do that for kate . you did that for me ! sonny : maybe i did . connie : see ? we got something , sonny . do n't you feel it ? sonny : yeah . i mean , we -- i do n't -- there 's something . connie : there 's something -- something i could get used to . and there you go , pulling away again , 'cause it ca n't go anywhere because you 're still in love with kate . sonny : i am , yes . connie : but the bottom line is you wish i did n't exist -- sonny : that 's not true . connie : -- because if i went and disappeared , then you could have kate back . is n't that true ? of course every girl has secrets . connie : admit it . you want me gone . sonny : i 'm sorry . connie : do n't you ever wonder who you really love , sonny ? kate , with her made- up life ? that 's not how you loved in high school . that 's not how we were at all . we wanted things . we thought we 'd be together forever . do n't you miss that ? do n't you miss me ? just get out of here . sonny : why do n't you let me help you -- connie : what , integrate me out of existence ? sonny : it 's not like that . connie : then how is it ? ! sonny : screwed up ! connie : yeah , i hear that ! sonny : and i hear you , too , so why ca n't we at least be -- connie : what , be friends ? friends that want other friends to disappear ? well , who needs enemies , then , sonny ? i think you should go now . [ crying ] patrick : you 're not gon na finish your hot chocolate ? emma : it 's cold . patrick : do you want me to get them to heat it up ? emma : no . patrick : i know you miss sabrina . and i think it 's good that you like her so much . emma : i do . i love her . patrick : baby , sabrina 's got her own life . she 's got her own friends , and as important as she is to us , you just have to let go a little bit . emma : but why ? patrick : because she 's not -- she 's not part of our family . olivia : i 'm sorry , honey . i did n't mean to spook you with all my visions , but , like dante said , they 're not all literal , and this one might just be plain wrong . maxie : it 's okay . you just want what 's best for dante and lulu , and so do i . olivia : okay . but do me a favor . next time you see any dogs , just let someone else go chase after it , okay ? maxie : i will . i promise . olivia : thank you , honey . thanks for indulging a nervous grandma . and thank you , too , doc . i can see that maxie 's in excellent hands . thank you . maxie : i got to go . britt : ah - ha - ha - ha . no , no , no , no , no , no . before you rush off , let me get this clear . you 're planning to pass off the baby you created with damian spinelli as dante and lulu 's child ? maxie : did you know that before surrogacy , dante and lulu were gon na try adoption ? they do n't care about genetics . they want a healthy baby . britt : but they still deserve to know the truth . maxie : this is for the best . britt : are you sure ? maxie : look , spinelli does n't want me or this baby , and dante and lulu do , so it 's all gon na work out , provided you keep your mouth shut . dante : all right . lulu : okay , on a scale of 1 to 10 , how obnoxious was i ? dante : what are you feeling like -- a salad , burger , something like that ? what do you want ? lulu : was i that bad ? dante : [ sighs ] look , i know you 're nervous about everything , and so am i , but we made the decision to have maxie as our surrogate because we trust her , right ? lulu : yes . dante : so , we made the decision to have maxie as our surrogate because we trust her . so , i think now we have to start showing that we actually do . lulu : i wish that i could be like you and be very kind and supportive . i do n't know why i flip into crazy when i think about the baby . that 's not true . i know why i flip into crazy -- because i want a child so badly . and i already love our son or daughter , and i just do n't want anything bad to happen . dante : if you think of all the bad that might happen , you miss out on the joy that 's right in front of you . look , two months ago -- okay ? we did n't even think that we would have a child of our own , but now our son or daughter is on their way . so , let 's just try and enjoy that miracle . lulu : say that again . dante : um -- which part ? there was -- there was a lot . lulu : that our son or daughter is on their way . anna : well , are you gon na remind me of the love we shared and tell me why i should choose you ? duke : no . i 'm not going to do that . are you disappointed ? anna : what do you mean ? duke : well , i love you . make no mistake -- i want you back , but , i mean , i 'm operating at a bit of a disadvantage . you 've already had a reunion with faison . it 's gon na take you a while to trust me . anna : but i will . i just need some time . duke : oh , okay . but , i mean , even if there was no faison , i ca n't expect to just reappear in your life and things not to have changed . you 've had relationships . i mean , obviously , you have a relationship with spencer . anna : i do n't know what we mean to each other , really , and i seriously doubt that luke would know , either . duke : well , i 'm not gon na pressure you into giving me an explanation , anna , and i 'm not gon na force you into making a choice . i 'm not gon na press myself on you -- not the way that faison did . i mean , with all my faults , the one thing i always was with you -- i was fair . anna : yeah , you were . duke : so -- i 'm not gon na press you . however -- i will always love you . | sabrina runs into patrick and emma in kelly 's . emma asks her when she will babysit again . patrick says sabrina ca n't babysit anymore . emma wonders if sabrina has stopped liking them . patrick says sabrina is too busy to babysit right now . emma wonders if she is too busy for the nurses ' ball , too . sabrina assures emma that the nurses ' ball will go on . when sabrina goes to get her food , patrick tells emma that they can do things with britt instead of having a babysitter . emma says she does n't like britt because she is mean . she says she does n't want to get to know britt and she does n't want her to be her new mommy . she says that if she has to have a new mommy , she wants it to be sabrina . she runs over to sabrina and hugs her . patrick apologizes to sabrina . sabrina tells him not to worry about it . spinelli confesses to ellie that he slept with maxie on new year 's eve after ellie did n't meet him on the roof . ellie says maxie knew that she was going to meet spinelli and suggests that maxie sabotaged her car and met spinelli in her place . spinelli says maxie does n't know anything about cars and that she would n't sabotage them that way . he says maxie was emotional about the baby and he was drunk . she tells him that he obviously wants to be with maxie and tells him to get out . she says her heart and body are both broken and she is angry that she was hit by a car while he was cheating on her . she calls him spinelli and tells him to leave her alone . he says he loves her and is sorry for hurting her , and then he leaves her room . lulu overhears britt telling maxie that she needs to tell dante and her something . lulu asks britt if everything is ok with the baby . maxie glares at britt . britt vaguely says the baby that maxie is carrying is doing well . dante asks maxie what she wanted to tell them . she says she is taking more folic acid . britt tells them that they are her patients too and they are entitled to know all the details of the pregnancy . olivia sees maxie holding a dog again . lulu says she thought the dog visions would stop after maxie tripped over the dog . olivia says that this time it looked like a wild animal cub . maxie sees spinelli and concludes that olivia must have seen a jackal . when everyone else leaves , britt asks maxie if she is planning to pass off her baby as dante and lulu 's . maxie says dante and lulu considered adoption before surrogacy so genetics do n't matter to them . she says spinelli does n't want her or the baby so it will work out for everyone . | <s>[INST] patrick : hey , that was pretty cool of your teacher to come up with a play about recycling , was n't it ? emma : yeah . i 'm good for the environment . patrick : yeah , you are . emma : sabrina ! sabrina : hey , emma ! emma : i miss you . when are you gon na babysit me again ? sonny : well , you 've been having a rough time , and i sympathize , that 's all . connie : really ? no angle ? nothing ? sonny : from one parent to another . i was a little nervous leaving you alone with olivia . i thought there might be some bloodshed . connie : no , we had a decent time . talked about a few things . sonny : yeah ? what things ? connie : you . sonny : what about me ? connie : not just you . you and me . spinelli : it happened on new year 's eve . ellie : okay . well , you already told me you spent the night with maxie . spinelli : yes . but what i did n't tell you -- is that i slept with her . ellie : you slept with maxie ? spinelli : i did . ellie : no . spinelli : yes . ellie : no . britt : my suggestion -- start with what you 're gon na tell dante and lulu . lulu : hey . hi . uh , tell dante and lulu what ? maxie : you 're back ! lulu : yeah . we came straight from the airport here . maxie : well , how 's your dad ? did you find him ? lulu : uh , leave it to him to get shot in a prison riot . maxie : oh , my god . is he okay ? lulu : he was shot in the arm , but he 's fine . i was trying to bring him here to get checked out , but he insisted on going straight to see anna . anna : i did n't want to tell you over the phone , but , uh , robert 's in a coma . luke : a coma ? anna : yeah . yeah . holly 's with him . luke : how did it happen ? anna : it was that woman at the clinic -- dr. obrecht . do you remember her ? she injured him . luke : oh , god , yes . you do n't forget a character like that . anna : exactly . luke : what were you doing back there ? anna : well -- duke : rescuing me . luke : faison , you son of a bitch . you stay away from her ! anna : let him go ! duke : i 'm not faison ! luke : halloween 's over . get the mask off . anna : it 's not a mask . luke : but you said faison was using a lavery mask . anna : yes . well , how else could he do it without duke ? luke : duke ? what ? you 're saying lavery is still alive ? anna : yes . this is duke lavery . maxie : well , you must be relieved that you found luke and that he 's home . lulu : we 're very relieved . steven : hey . dante : hey . maxie : so , a - a prison riot ? how 'd luke get messed up in something like that ? lulu : this is a really long story , and it 's not important . how are you ? maxie : obviously , i 'm great . i 'm standing here . so , luke got shot ? is it bad ? lulu : dr. westbourne , you said that maxie needed to tell us something about the baby . maxie : the baby is fine . lulu : i 'm sensing a `` but `` in there . maxie : do n't be silly . `` but `` what ? what could be wrong ? lulu : i do n't know . you 're acting really weird right now , and you were acting really weird on the phone . maxie : you called me from a turkish prison , and you think i was acting weird ? dante : all righty . so , it 's good to be back . maxie , we 're really happy everything 's going well with you . lulu : is she telling the truth ? dante : okay , we just talked . we were gon na try and back off a little bit . maxie : oh , my god . are you seriously subjecting me to one of olivia 's psychic screenings ? 'cause that 's rude . olivia : do n't worry , honey . i got nothing . steven : as perceptive as olivia can be , if you want accurate medical information , you 've got your doctor right here . lulu : is everything okay with the baby ? spinelli : as painful as it is for you to hear it and -- as painful as it is for me to say it -- i - i - i slept with maxie on new year 's eve . ellie : but why ? spinelli : well -- y - you and i agreed that if -- if you did n't show up on the hospital roof at the appointed time , it would be a signal that you did n't want to be with me , and so when you did n't appear , i came to the lamentable and erroneous conclusion that we were over , and i - i was somewhat inebriated because i 'd imbibed peppermint schnapps in an attempt to keep warm . and then in my despair , i finished the bottle and became thoroughly pixilated . ellie : and then what ? you thought , `` oh , here 's my chance ! i 'm just gon na go have sex with maxie `` ? ! spinelli : no . no . no . no . i - i only wanted you . but -- but you were n't there . ellie : so , instead of trying to look for me , you just scamper off to maxie ? spinelli : no , ellie . there was no scampering . i - i - i tried to call you , as your phone records will attest , but then i -- i - i took you -- i took you at your word . and in my admittedly fuzzy state , i -- i felt my only recourse was to respect your decision and consider our coupledom done . ellie : and then what ? how did you wind up in bed with maxie ? ! you want to be honest ? ! out with it ! i want the entire story -- every gory detail ! sonny : you gon na tell me what you and liv were saying about you and me , or -- connie : no , it 's nothing . it 's just girl talk . sonny : okay . connie : no , i was just saying that , you know , you 're a hard man to figure out . sonny : i 'm a -- i 'm a hard man to figure out ? connie : yeah . because i treat you like dirt and you 're here . sonny : oh . connie : ever since the accident , you 've been nothing but good to me . you paid my bail . you helped me with my son , convinced me to let him go . you even made sure i had a few minutes with him at the end to say goodbye . why ? why are you suddenly here in my corner ? sonny : are you giving me a hard time because i 'm treating you like a human being ? connie : no . [ sighs ] i 'm trying to tell you that -- i owe you . sabrina : you have n't told her . emma : told me what ? patrick : i was waiting for the right time . sabrina : i think it needs to be now so there are no unrealistic expectations and no one gets disappointed . patrick : right . um , hey , listen . uh , sabrina 's not gon na be able to babysit you anymore . emma : why ? sabrina : okay , okay . dr. drake said that i - i tried to kiss him ? britt : it was highly inappropriate . i mean , how can you expect him to keep that to himself ? sabrina : but that 's not at all what happened . britt : well , it 's how patrick saw it . bottom line , sabrina -- you 're making patrick very uncomfortable . emma : do n't you like us anymore ? what 's today 's dare ? sabrina : emma , of course i like you . i love you . emma : then why ca n't you come over anymore ? patrick : emma , sabrina 's really busy . she 's working at the hospital and she 's studying for her nurse 's exam , so she just does n't have enough time to babysit right now . emma : but what about the nurses ' ball ? you said we would all be in it together . are you too busy for that now , too ? britt : the baby maxie 's carrying is doing fine . there 's absolutely nothing wrong with this baby . maxie : see ? so , could you please just relax a little -- please , please ? i mean , you 're my best friend and i love you , but you 're taking hovering to a whole new level . lulu : i am so sorry . i just worry . i just w -- i just want everything to be okay . dante : okay . maybe it would help maxie 's stress level if we did n't interrogate her -- lulu : okay , you do n't have to say , `` we . `` we know it 's me . i 'm trying to relax . olivia : how 'bout if we just rely on dr. westbourne for all of our pregnancy updates ? 'cause i 'm thinking she 's probably a lot more reliable than my visions , so -- steven : can i quote you on that ? olivia : [ chuckles ] dante : so , you guys were talking about something . you said maxie had something to tell us . spinelli : i - i was on the hospital roof , a - alone , in despair , clutching my near empty bottle of peppermint schnapps , my life in shambles , a -- ellie : okay , cut to the chase . when did maxie show up ? spinelli : well , midnight had come and gone . i was -- again , alone on the roof , um , contemplating the uncaring stars . ellie : [ sighs ] spinelli : and i heard footsteps , and i leapt up because i thought -- i thought it was you . but it turned out to be maxie . ellie : [ sighs ] i knew it . i knew it . maxie came looking for you . spinelli : no . in fact , she was quite surprised to see me . ellie : no , she was n't ! she knew that you and i had planned a rendezvous on the roof ! she knew that i was on my way to see you ! oh , my god . [ gasps ] i went to my room to get ready , and i left maxie on the couch , and while i was showering and drying my hair , she knew that i could n't hear what she was up to . spinelli : okay . i 'm sorry . i do n't understand how that relates to my encounter with her hours later on the roof . ellie : oh , my god . maxie obviously tampered with my car . she arranged to come in my place so that while i was getting mowed down by connie falconeri 's car , she was having sex with you ! spinelli : ellie , that 's -- that 's -- that 's not true . i mean , first , maxie does n't know the difference between a spark plug and a radiator hose , but more importantly , look -- no , she would not -- she would not sabotage you or me in such a manner . ellie : you know maxie better than i do . can you honestly look me in the eye and promise me that she would n't do anything underhanded to get her own way ? sonny : forget it , connie . you do n't owe me anything . connie : i - i do . i owe you a very big thank you for what you did for me . okay , maybe you did n't do it for me . maybe you were being nice because you thought kate was gon na come back . i do n't care . whatever . but i was falling down , and you helped me up . sonny : i can be ruthless , right ? but i 'm capable of compassion . you were hurting , and i wanted to help . connie : and i owe you a thank you . sonny : no , you do n't owe me anything . connie : sonny , let me tell you that i want to thank you , please ! i do n't say , `` thank you `` that often . sonny : okay . connie : thank you ! sonny : okay . i - i -- connie : geez . that 's not how i meant to say it . thank you , sonny . anna : no , faison is in a cell in geneva , and if you do n't believe me , then call interpol . oh , better yet , go online , because his capture made all the european papers . luke : and there 's no chance that this could be another mind game ? anna : no , no . there is n't , really . i mean , i can understand why you would doubt me , 'cause i have plenty of reasons to doubt myself , but this -- this is duke . duke : i - i apologize for the confusion . anna : it 's not your fault . it 's nobody 's fault . we 've all just been faison 's puppets . it 's going to take us a while to adjust . luke : well , how did this happen , and how do you know that this is the real guy ? anna : well , because faison said that duke was in a prison in turkey , and , remember , that story checked out . that 's because he was . he was there . duke : yeah . for two decades . i was supposed to have entered the witness protection program , but it was a trap , so i was left to rot in jail . anna : but faison found him first . duke : well , he did , and , as a matter of fact , i was grateful when he first took me to switzerland because i was in pretty bad shape . i - i - i needed medical attention , and i also needed physical therapy , but then when faison introduced himself to me , i realized that my salvation had come at a very -- at a very high price . anna : and , you see , then faison -- he made a mold of his face , and they duplicated his fingerprints . faison studied his mannerisms , the way he talked , and he got all these personal details about our life together , and -- duke : i also fed him some false memories . i wanted to send clues to anna . but , uh -- he was pretty determined . he was obsessed , and he was convinced that his plan was gon na work . he was convinced that anna would accept him as me and he would take his place in my life -- assume my place beside anna . anna : and i was -- i was vulnerable . and he knew that . and he fed me a lie that i wanted to believe . luke : there 's no way you could have seen this coming . anna : well , you did . duke : anna told me that you were the first to suspect that faison was an imposter . it 's thanks to you that i 'm here . luke : i just wish i could have been in switzerland for the takedown . i would have loved to have been the one to rip the mask off that maniac 's head and expose him for what he is . duke : it 's because of you that i 'm here and , more importantly , that anna is free and safe . i thank you for that . i thank you most sincerely . sabrina : of course you 're gon na be in the nurses ' ball . it 's to honor your mommy . we could n't think of having a ball without dr. robin scorpio - drake 's little girl . emma : will you and me and daddy all be in it together ? patrick : [ chuckling ] hey . sabrina : [ chuckles ] i - i , um -- i do n't -- i do n't know if we 're gon na be performing as a group . i 'm gon na have to be running around , making sure everything 's going the way it 's supposed to go . but -- but you and your daddy are definitely gon na be our guests of honor , okay ? patrick : yes . we will see sabrina at the nurses ' ball , i promise . we just have to figure out all the details first , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . sabrina : okay . so , right now , i have to go get my food , but it was really great seeing you . i miss you . patrick : okay . come on . come and finish your hot chocolate . it 's gon na get cold . emma : i want sabrina to be my babysitter . patrick : i understand . i like sabrina , too . but she needs time to study , all right ? you ca n't ask her to take care of us and forget about nursing , can we ? emma : she could study while she babysits . i 'll be really , really quiet . patrick : [ chuckles ] you 're so sweet . we 'll find somebody great to babysit you , i promise . but maybe -- maybe we wo n't need a babysitter as much . maybe next time i go out with britt , you can come with us and we can do something fun . like , we can go ice skating or maybe we can go to the ballet . emma : i do n't like britt . patrick : why would you say that ? baby , i think you just need to spend more time together . emma : no , we do n't . patrick : emma , what 's going on ? why do n't you like britt ? emma : 'cause she 's mean . britt : maxie and i were discussing some bloodwork that just came back . i want to up her dosage of folic acid . lulu : oh . is something wrong ? britt : oh , it 's pretty standard . maxie : dr westbourne 's taking great care of me . she knows how much this baby means to all of us . lulu : but you were gon na notify us that you were changing her dose . dante : i think we just need to take a step back , baby . that 's all . maxie : yeah . dante 's right . it 's not rocket science . it 's just green vegetables and orange juice . britt : and maxie does n't want to worry you . and as i reminded her , you and dante are also my patients , and you 're entitled to all information pertinent to this pregnancy . olivia : mother of god . not you again ! spinelli : it 's true that maxie has a history of being somewhat calculating , even a schemer at times , but i assure you she did not come to the hospital roof in a deliberate attempt to subvert you -- on the contrary . look , maxie was terrified . she was afraid that a tangle with a dog had inadvertently caused harm to the baby , but , i mean , everything was fine . she just came to the roof to calm down . ellie : and have sex with you ? ! that is so disgusting ! spinelli : it was a grievous error in judgment , and it -- it would n't have happened if she had n't been so emotional and i had n't been so drunk that i could n't see straight . ellie : ugh ! just give me a break ! maxie had only recently been implanted with dante and lulu 's embryo , okay ? she just found out she was pregnant on christmas eve ! she knew that having sex was contraindicated . you 're supposed to refrain from that so that you do n't interfere with the procedure . spinelli : well , fortunately , i mean , the baby 's fine , and so is maxie . ellie : that 's great . you should just go be with her , because you obviously want to . spinelli : no , ellie . i - i want -- i want you . ellie : stop -- lying to me . stop telling me what you think i should hear , because it 's not making anything better ! it 's just making everything worse ! you still want maxie -- so much so that you did n't even hesitate to have intercourse with her ! spinelli : tell me what i can do to make it better . ellie : you want to know what you can do ? get out . spinelli : come on . we have to talk about this . ellie : no . you know what ? if you wo n't leave , then i 'm going to . spinelli : ellie , stop . stop . sonny : i 'm gon na go check on kristina , so if you need anything , i 'll be back . connie : all right , sonny . just walk away . just -- walk away from me like i 'm poison . sonny : that 's not what i 'm doing . connie : no , you are looking for kate . but you did n't find kate . sonny : [ sighs ] connie : you found me . luke : i 'm sorry . i 've never been one to shake hands and be a gentleman . duke : well , at the very least , you can accept my thanks for saving my life . luke : it never entered my mind . you were never part of my equation . anna : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? he has n't done anything wrong . luke : no ? are you still in love with her ? duke : i most certainly am still in love with her . the thought of anna kept me alive . anna : [ sighs ] luke : well , you 're not the only one . all that time over there , i did a lot of thinking . you and i have n't exactly lived blameless lives , and i think that 's why we understand each other . that 's why this works . but it 's more than companionship and understanding . i 've realized , anna -- i 'm in love with you . which makes us adversaries until the lady decides which one she wants , if she has n't already decided . it seems our angels have been busy building a new , anna : well , thank you . that 's great . i 'm allowed to decide . why do n't we just do pistols at dawn ? luke : look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . anna : yes , you are . you 're putting me on the spot . luke : well , let 's -- why do n't we just go home alone and talk this thing out ? anna : no . i moved out . luke : what ? why ? anna : well , i moved out because you went to dig up dirt on him , and i told you -- i explicitly said do n't , and then you got caught and you sent robert , and i just was done with the whole thing . luke : but i was right ! duke : actually , he was right . luke : when i need your backup , i 'll ask for it . we were working things out , anna . look , i -- robert forgave me for sending him off on that wild goose chase after a kid that was n't his own , and i came back and i wanted to work it out with you , and we would have , i think , except that faison showed up with this guy 's face and a bunch of memories of your long - ago romance . anna : are you sure that you do n't resent me for just ignoring you and getting caught up in the whole thing ? luke : i do n't resent you . i 'm in love with you . i just want us to get back to where we were . anna : so much has happened , i do n't even know what might have been at this point . i really do n't . luke : come on . we were on the brink of something important , something real . you ca n't tell me that that does n't count for something . anna : [ sighs ] connie : admit it . you do n't see me . when you look at me , you want to see kate looking back . sonny : i see you , connie . you 've been through so much facing what no parent should have to face . i 'm just trying to help you . that 's all . connie : maybe you are , but you still want to see kate looking back at you . sonny : i miss kate . i 'm not gon na pretend i do n't . why are you bringing it up ? connie : because i do n't know what -- what are we doing ? what do you want from me ? what do you expect ? sonny : you 're hurting , right ? i do n't want to see you hurt anymore . connie : well , then , tell me the truth . sonny : when you love someone and they disappear , you do n't stop loving them . yes , when i look at you -- i want to see kate , and she 's not there . and it hurts . spinelli : ellie , come on . you could hurt yourself and undermine all the -- ellie : i 'm already hurt ! my body and my heart are both shattered into a million pieces ! spinelli : look , you ca n't let me upset you like this . you -- you -- you could undo all the -- ellie : damian , you promised me this would n't happen . i put my faith in you , and you lied to my face about your feelings for maxie and then you slept with her behind my back ! spinelli : you 're angry . i understand . ellie : i 'm furious ! spinelli : yes , and i understand , and i - i wo n't try to reason with you . ellie : oh , excuse me ! i 'm being unreasonable now ? ! damian , i got hit by a car while you were cheating on me ! spinelli : you have every right to be upset and angry . i made a mistake . and i wish i could take it back , but that does n't change the way i feel about you . ellie : spinelli , please -- leave me alone . spinelli : your request is unambiguous and understandable , given the unfortunate circumstances . the jackal knows when he 's not wanted . but , ellie , please know this . i love you . and i am -- deeply sorry that i hurt you . olivia : i thought i 'd seen the last of you , you filthy little mongrel . you stay away from maxie ! dante : what , is this the dog thing again ? really ? steven : liv , are you seeing the dog again ? olivia : you do n't see it ? it 's right there ! okay , now it 's gone . lulu : and you wonder why i worry . olivia : i 'm sorry , everyone . i saw it . i saw maxie 's baby as a dog . patrick : i think you need to give britt a chance , 'cause she 's smart , she 's very funny , and she 's very nice , and i think once you get to know her , i think you 'll like her . emma : i do n't want to get to know britt . patrick : hey , we talked about this , right -- about judging people before you know them , like the new kid at school . you did n't think you were gon na be friends , and then you guys became friends once you got to know her . emma : britt 's not a kid . she 's a lady . and i do not want her to be my new mommy . patrick : okay . emma , nobody said anything about a new mommy , okay ? i did n't say that . emma : my real mommy 's in heaven . patrick : come here . i know you miss your mommy . i miss her , too . but that does n't mean that we ca n't get to know people or let them get to know us , all right ? britt 's just a friend , okay ? emma : okay . patrick : okay . you finish your hot chocolate , and we 'll go home . emma : if i have to have a new mommy , i want it to be sabrina . patrick : emma . sabrina : [ gasps ] dante : whatever -- okay ? this vision means , it 's not literal . lulu : i know ! if i was carrying this child , it would be different . i would feel the child inside of me , and i would know that everything is okay , but i am outside of this process , and i have to ask questions to be a part of it and i have to take everyone 's word for it -- maxie 's and olivia 's and dr. westbourne 's . dante : hey , hang on . hang on . stop . you do n't need to buy in to it , though , okay ? it 's not like this baby is gon na be a dog . britt : okay , that ca n't be a serious question . lulu : i know maxie is not going to give birth to a dog . it 's just -- my mother - in - law is a very grounded , very smart woman , and she had a medical thing where she has these premonitions and they come true . olivia : but , as dante pointed out , my premonitions are subject to interpretation , so -- lulu : look , when maxie chased after the dog and tripped , i thought that 's what your vision was , but you 're still seeing the dog , so it 's got me a little freaked out . steven : liv , was it the same dog ? britt : okay , you ca n't be serious . olivia : well , it was a little puppy -- very cute and very little , fluffy , like a little wolf . lulu : it 's a wolf ? olivia : well , not like a wolf exactly but like a little -- something wild , you know ? like , i 'm not a big fan of the nature programs , but like a little cub of some kind . i 'm not exactly sure what kind . maxie : a jackal . [ washer and dryer sounds ] maxie : a jackal . that explains it . steven : explains what ? maxie : nothing . um , you know , you guys just got back from liberating your dad from a turkish prison , which i 'm not complaining about . this is your dad , and this is always the way he 's acted . but you can tell that it 's stressing you out , and , in turn , that 's stressing me out , and i know intellectually you do n't mean to come off as a paranoid control freak who 's questioning my every move , but you are , and i do n't think that 's healthy for any of us , so maybe we should just take a little break , right , dante ? dante : okay . yeah . i think a break would be good . we can all decompress a little bit , right ? lulu : i get it . i 'm being borderline ridiculous . i would just like to know what this wolf - puppy stuff is . maxie : lulu , drop it with the wolf puppy , okay ? i 'm not giving birth to a dog . dante : okay . she does n't think that . we 're sorry , okay ? let 's stop . maxie : let 's just focus on the good stuff , okay ? your dad 's home . i 'm fine . it 's all good . dante : okay . i 'm tired . i know you 're tired , so why do n't we get out of here ? lulu : yes . okay . i 'm sorry . i 'll try to be more rational . maxie : it 's okay . patrick : okay . come on . let go of sabrina . emma : no . sabrina : emma , honey , you have to listen to your daddy , okay ? patrick : honey , you want a time - out ? emma : i do n't care . if i have to have a new mommy , i want it to be sabrina . sabrina : [ chuckles ] patrick : emma -- sabrina : honey , i miss you , too , okay ? but i 'm not going anywhere . maybe elizabeth can bring you by the nurses ' station and we can have a visit or something . does that sound good ? emma : but why ca n't you come to my house ? patrick : okay , come on . let sabrina go . go sit down and finish your hot chocolate . emma : no . patrick : emma , go sit down . come on -- now . sabrina : [ chuckles softly ] patrick : i 'm sorry . that was -- sabrina : no , it 's okay . do n't worry about it . patrick : i want her to have her feelings , but i think this is really confusing for her . sabrina : every kid has meltdowns , even one as awesome as emma . patrick : i know she 's gon na miss seeing you , but that thing that she was saying about the new mommy -- it 's just -- sabrina : do n't worry about it . kids say things . patrick : yeah , they do . anna : you 've given me a lot to think about -- yeah , certainly . luke : oh , there 's a dodge if ever i 've heard one . anna : i do n't know what i feel . i 'm still grieving robin . and i 'm incredibly humiliated and angry by what happened with faison . but i 'm so grateful that you stand by me . and -- and i 'm incredibly relieved that duke 's alive . so , i do n't know what i 'm feeling . i 'm -- i 'm all over the place . duke : i think we both need to back off . anna : yes , you do . luke : speak for yourself , friend . duke : should i be grateful also now you 've upgraded me from adversary to friend ? anna : i would love it if you could be friends . luke : well , that 's not gon na happen until you give me an answer . anna : i 'm in no condition to make a commitment to anyone . luke : okay . you know where i stand . the ball 's in your court . anna : [ sighs ] connie : wow , is n't that a kick in the teeth , huh ? here i thought we were getting somewhere . sonny : we are . connie : yeah . a couple days ago , i could n't stand the sight of you , and then i kill my kid . sonny : okay , you did n't kill trey . you took him off life support . there 's a difference . connie : it was my fault , sonny . i caused the accident that put him on life support . and i could n't face that fact , let alone take him off the machines , and then you -- you showed up and you took my hand and you helped me through it . and you say you 'd do that for anyone , but i do n't think that 's true . i think you did that for me . you did n't do that for kate . you did that for me ! sonny : maybe i did . connie : see ? we got something , sonny . do n't you feel it ? sonny : yeah . i mean , we -- i do n't -- there 's something . connie : there 's something -- something i could get used to . and there you go , pulling away again , 'cause it ca n't go anywhere because you 're still in love with kate . sonny : i am , yes . connie : but the bottom line is you wish i did n't exist -- sonny : that 's not true . connie : -- because if i went and disappeared , then you could have kate back . is n't that true ? of course every girl has secrets . connie : admit it . you want me gone . sonny : i 'm sorry . connie : do n't you ever wonder who you really love , sonny ? kate , with her made- up life ? that 's not how you loved in high school . that 's not how we were at all . we wanted things . we thought we 'd be together forever . do n't you miss that ? do n't you miss me ? just get out of here . sonny : why do n't you let me help you -- connie : what , integrate me out of existence ? sonny : it 's not like that . connie : then how is it ? ! sonny : screwed up ! connie : yeah , i hear that ! sonny : and i hear you , too , so why ca n't we at least be -- connie : what , be friends ? friends that want other friends to disappear ? well , who needs enemies , then , sonny ? i think you should go now . [ crying ] patrick : you 're not gon na finish your hot chocolate ? emma : it 's cold . patrick : do you want me to get them to heat it up ? emma : no . patrick : i know you miss sabrina . and i think it 's good that you like her so much . emma : i do . i love her . patrick : baby , sabrina 's got her own life . she 's got her own friends , and as important as she is to us , you just have to let go a little bit . emma : but why ? patrick : because she 's not -- she 's not part of our family . olivia : i 'm sorry , honey . i did n't mean to spook you with all my visions , but , like dante said , they 're not all literal , and this one might just be plain wrong . maxie : it 's okay . you just want what 's best for dante and lulu , and so do i . olivia : okay . but do me a favor . next time you see any dogs , just let someone else go chase after it , okay ?

maxie : did you know that before surrogacy , dante and lulu were gon na try adoption ? they do n't care about genetics . they want a healthy baby . britt : but they still deserve to know the truth . maxie : this is for the best . britt : are you sure ? maxie : look , spinelli does n't want me or this baby , and dante and lulu do , so it 's all gon na work out , provided you keep your mouth shut . dante : all right . lulu : okay , on a scale of 1 to 10 , how obnoxious was i ? dante : what are you feeling like -- a salad , burger , something like that ? what do you want ? lulu : was i that bad ? dante : [ sighs ] look , i know you 're nervous about everything , and so am i , but we made the decision to have maxie as our surrogate because we trust her , right ? lulu : yes . dante : so , we made the decision to have maxie as our surrogate because we trust her . so , i think now we have to start showing that we actually do . lulu : i wish that i could be like you and be very kind and supportive . i do n't know why i flip into crazy when i think about the baby . that 's not true . i know why i flip into crazy -- because i want a child so badly . and i already love our son or daughter , and i just do n't want anything bad to happen . dante : if you think of all the bad that might happen , you miss out on the joy that 's right in front of you . look , two months ago -- okay ? we did n't even think that we would have a child of our own , but now our son or daughter is on their way . so , let 's just try and enjoy that miracle . lulu : say that again . dante : um -- which part ? there was -- there was a lot . lulu : that our son or daughter is on their way . anna : well , are you gon na remind me of the love we shared and tell me why i should choose you ? duke : no . i 'm not going to do that . are you disappointed ? anna : what do you mean ? duke : well , i love you . make no mistake -- i want you back , but , i mean , i 'm operating at a bit of a disadvantage . you 've already had a reunion with faison . it 's gon na take you a while to trust me . anna : but i will . i just need some time . duke : oh , okay . but , i mean , even if there was no faison , i ca n't expect to just reappear in your life and things not to have changed . you 've had relationships . i mean , obviously , you have a relationship with spencer . anna : i do n't know what we mean to each other , really , and i seriously doubt that luke would know , either . duke : well , i 'm not gon na pressure you into giving me an explanation , anna , and i 'm not gon na force you into making a choice . i 'm not gon na press myself on you -- not the way that faison did . i mean , with all my faults , the one thing i always was with you -- i was fair . anna : yeah , you were . duke : so -- i 'm not gon na press you . however -- i will always love you .Summarize.[/INST]sabrina runs into patrick and emma in kelly 's . emma asks her when she will babysit again . patrick says sabrina ca n't babysit anymore . emma wonders if sabrina has stopped liking them . patrick says sabrina is too busy to babysit right now . emma wonders if she is too busy for the nurses ' ball , too . sabrina assures emma that the nurses ' ball will go on . when sabrina goes to get her food , patrick tells emma that they can do things with britt instead of having a babysitter . emma says she does n't like britt because she is mean . she says she does n't want to get to know britt and she does n't want her to be her new mommy . she says that if she has to have a new mommy , she wants it to be sabrina . she runs over to sabrina and hugs her . patrick apologizes to sabrina . sabrina tells him not to worry about it . spinelli confesses to ellie that he slept with maxie on new year 's eve after ellie did n't meet him on the roof . ellie says maxie knew that she was going to meet spinelli and suggests that maxie sabotaged her car and met spinelli in her place . spinelli says maxie does n't know anything about cars and that she would n't sabotage them that way . he says maxie was emotional about the baby and he was drunk . she tells him that he obviously wants to be with maxie and tells him to get out . she says her heart and body are both broken and she is angry that she was hit by a car while he was cheating on her . she calls him spinelli and tells him to leave her alone . he says he loves her and is sorry for hurting her , and then he leaves her room . lulu overhears britt telling maxie that she needs to tell dante and her something . lulu asks britt if everything is ok with the baby . maxie glares at britt . britt vaguely says the baby that maxie is carrying is doing well . dante asks maxie what she wanted to tell them . she says she is taking more folic acid . britt tells them that they are her patients too and they are entitled to know all the details of the pregnancy . olivia sees maxie holding a dog again . lulu says she thought the dog visions would stop after maxie tripped over the dog . olivia says that this time it looked like a wild animal cub . maxie sees spinelli and concludes that olivia must have seen a jackal . when everyone else leaves , britt asks maxie if she is planning to pass off her baby as dante and lulu 's . maxie says dante and lulu considered adoption before surrogacy so genetics do n't matter to them . she says spinelli does n't want her or the baby so it will work out for everyone .</s> | 9,556 |
robin : what 's the emergency ? patrick : take a look . robin : the mayor 's mistress ? patrick : brianna hughes . as i suspected , the injuries that she 's presenting , they do n't match with a little head bump in the shower that the mayor described . i think we wandered into the middle of a cover - up . [ scene_break ] jax : i have a feeling we 're going to look back on this day and regret it . carly : why ? jax : because with all this stuff in here , we 're never going to see michael . he 's going to be gaming into the night . carly : why do i have a feeling that would n't bother you at all ? [ scene_break ] michael : what part of get out and leave me alone do you not understand ? get out ! i 'll throw you out ! jason : hey , hey , come on . michael : get off . get the -- leave me alone . jason : calm down . michael : do n't touch me . jason : calm down . calm down now . [ scene_break ] claudia : so , what 's the verdict , doc ? kelly : i 'm -- claudia : am i still at risk for miscarriage ? kelly : i 'm having trouble picking up the baby 's heartbeat . claudia : well , that ca n't be good . kelly : i 'd like to perform another ultrasound . claudia : you think my baby 's dead ? sonny : everything okay ? why are you crying ? something wrong with the baby ? [ scene_break ] maxie : stupid , stupid thing . lulu : what is wrong ? maxie : oh , i am trying to open this file and this annoying - beyond - belief pop- up will not let me . lulu : maxie , stop . stop , stop , stop . maxie : what are you doing ? lulu : it could be a virus . you do n't want to touch anything . maxie : how am i supposed to know if my computer is infected ? oh , my god . tell me that you see spinelli . lulu : i see spinelli . maxie : good . because for a second , i thought maybe i was going crazy . spinelli , can you hear me ? spinelli : i can indeed . um , guess where i am . i 'll give you a hint . the jackal is nigh . maxie : nigh ? spinelli : ta - da ! maxie : [ screams ] spinelli : [ laughs ] maxie : you are so clever . let me look at you , spinelli . i have n't seen you in forever , since you opened your brilliant p.i . business . spinelli : well , hi . maxie : hi . i 've missed you . you know , no one wants you to succeed more than me , but you have to have a better balance . work , play , work , play . do n't you want to play with me ? lulu : okay , i do n't mean to break up -- this -- but spinelli , whatever you 're here for , make it quick , because you 're not exactly kate 's favorite person . she 's going to be swooping in any minute . spinelli : you know , that bothers me . the fact that she would re - route her guilty conscience into personal antipathy for me ? i 've been nothing but pleasant , even helpful to the fashionista on more than one occasion . i ca n't help but be a little irked by this unearned hostility . you know , perhaps i should just expose ms. howard 's duplicitous nature . lulu : no -- whoa , whoa , whoa . no , no , no , spinelli . you ca n't expose kate . she could get fired . spinelli : perhaps she should be . lulu : well , perhaps . but that would leave me and maxie without a job . [ scene_break ] robin : we are not in the middle of anything . we responded to a medical emergency as medical professionals . whatever happened in mayor floyd 's hotel room is his problem . and to be honest , i hope it has enough teeth to bite him . patrick : well , it 's obvious you 're not a fan . robin : mayor floyd is the bane of my uncle mac 's existence . he 's untrustworthy , slick , he panders to the press in such an obvious way it 's disgusting . he serially cheats on his perfectly nice wife . i mean , i 'm not the only one in this town that would like to see mayor floyd take a fall . patrick : which brings us neatly back to brianna hughes . so what do you think ? robin : i agree with you . the severity of the concussion goes way beyond a bump on the head during shower sex . patrick : okay , so i obviously know how you feel about mayor floyd , but do you really think he would assault a woman ? alexis : patrick ? [ clears throat ] excuse me . would it be possible for me to question brianna hughes ? patrick : yeah . may i ask why the d.a . is involved ? alexis : because we have a maid who believes she may have heard the accident at the metro court , or a struggle . patrick : okay , well , brianna is not ready to talk yet . robin and i just were conferring , and we need to run more tests . alexis : some concern that you have ? patrick : the head injury is a lot more serious than the circumstances suggest . alexis : excuse me . i agreed to keep this whole sordid episode under the radar for reasons that you and i are both aware of . but that does not and will not extend to covering up assault . mayor floyd : assault ? what are you talking about ? brianna was n't assaulted . alexis : well , garrett , according to the doctors , the head injury tells another story . so why do n't you go through this again from the top , and this time , do n't leave anything out . [ scene_break ] jax : now , why would you say something mean like that ? you do n't think i 'm excited that michael 's coming home ? carly : yes , yes , i know you are . i just -- i just wish we would have put that pool in . you know , if we would have put that pool in , michael could use it . i keep thinking about everything he would want or need and that would really help him with his physical therapy . jax : there 's a pool at the new house . and he can use the one at the hotel in the meantime , so -- carly : i just want him to have everything he wants right here and right now . a lot to make up for . and not that i can give him back the year that he lost , but it would just be nice to -- did i tell you we were going to be skydiving out of an airplane ? except that we 're not really going to be using parachutes . the airplane is just going to dangle us outside the windows and just drop us anywhere . did i tell you that ? jax : sounds good . carly : jax . jax : what ? carly : what is going on with you ? you 've been , like , half here all day . jax : i 'm trying -- reading the instruction manual . morgan : is michael coming home today ? [ scene_break ] michael : let me go ! jason : elizabeth , what are you doing ? elizabeth : i 'm calling for security and a sedative . jason : do n't . elizabeth : jason , he needs help . he 's out of control . michael : i 'll be better once you get the hell out ! elizabeth : you can not handle this on -- jason : please , i can -- i can handle this . please . elizabeth : all right . all right . jason : are you good ? [ scene_break ] claudia : tears of joy . doctor lee just told me that the baby and i are going to be fine even though carly chucked us down a flight of stairs . it 's a miracle . i think i 'm going to go to the pcpd and press charges against her . sonny : no , just let it be . claudia : if i threw carly and her baby down a flight of stairs , would you let it be ? sonny : we do n't know exactly what happened . you get what i 'm saying ? claudia : mm - hmm . when in doubt , believe carly . sonny : i 'm not going to do this right here . how soon can you set up the amnio ? kelly : i 'd say august . sonny : okay , book it . kelly : it 's really not necessary to schedule -- sonny : can you -- can you just humor me ? because i -- i need to know as soon as possible if i 'm the father of this baby . [ scene_break ] robin : the mayor looks like he just threw up in his mouth . patrick : well , he 's got a lot to worry about . not only was he busted cheating on his wife , but the woman he was with could be seriously injured . mayor floyd : i freely admit to having an assignation with brianna . i assure you it was consensual . brianna and i are very much involved . alexis : that 's real sweet , garrett . how 's your wife feel about that ? mayor floyd : you know very well the problems i 've had with my wife . nothing 's changed . so , yes , brianna and i were in an embrace in the shower . it got athletic . she hit her head . it was very painful . brianna thought acetaminophen would help , so i went down to the gift store , i got some . when i came back , she was unconscious . alexis : that story is not going to work , garrett , because her head injury is too severe . you need to tell me exactly what happened , and you need to know that i 'm not covering up an assault charge . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the glacial one 's shenanigans offend my moral balance . just because she owns the magazine does n't mean she should be allowed to wreak havoc on it . maxie : but if not kate , then who ? or is it whom ? spinelli : i 'm sorry , i do n't understand . lulu : i do n't understand , either . whose side are you on ? maxie : spinelli 's , of course . but , i mean , why own a magazine if you ca n't do whatever you want with it ? i guess that 's besides the point . if spinelli thinks kate should be outed as the hypocritical thief that she is , then i agree with him . it 's outrageous . who undermines their own creation , and why ? lulu : you 're deciding to go with moral indignation now , when our jobs are on the line ? maxie : sometimes you have to be willing to sacrifice for the greater good , right spinelli ? spinelli : right as rain , maximista . lulu : oh , my goodness . okay , this is not a comic book strip where the hero shows up in the nick of time to right injustice . yeah , this is the real world . we have a real job . it makes us real money , and we really like it . it puts a roof over our head and designer fashion in your closet . are you really ready to sacrifice that just for the pleasure of sticking it to kate ? maxie : how selfish are you , lulu ? this is n't about us . this is spinelli 's first real case , and it 's not some mid - life crisis schlub cheating on his wife , either . it 's a high - profile case that will get mccall and jackal , p.i . a lot of press , and they 'll probably be turning away clients . lulu : yeah , well , i would love it for spinelli to kick off his career in a big and splashy way . maybe it is selfish , but at the end of the day , yeah , i think i would like to still have a job . maxie : i have many shoes . and if i do n't have a job , where am i going to wear them ? lulu : oh , that 's easy . actually , at the unemployment office . you can stand in them for a really long time in one unending line after another . i doubt that they 'll actually have some fashion industry gigs up for grabs . but you could sell newspapers with spinelli 's headline blaring -- oh , wait , that 's not going to work either , because the newspapers are n't hiring . they 're too busy hanging on by a thread . maxie : all right , i get your point . kate : oh , wow . i do love walking in to find my assistants hard at work . [ clears throat ] all right , enlighten me . tell me what business you have with mr. jackal that 's so important it supersedes my own . [ scene_break ] morgan : i do n't know if i like this idea . carly : huh ? why ? what 's wrong with this idea ? morgan : if michael has his own gaming system in his room , then i 'll never see him . carly : michael 's dying to spend time with you . you guys will just have to hang out in here . jax : yes , but you also have to remember that michael is going to need some time alone . he has a lot of adjusting to do . a lot has changed in a year . michael has , too . so things might get a little rough around here , but you 're just going to have to be patient , okay ? morgan : i 'll do whatever michael needs . jax : oh , you are a good little brother . [ scene_break ] michael : fight back . i 'm not afraid . jason : michael , just take it -- take it easy . michael : come on , hit me . jason : i 'm not going to hit you . okay . i would never , ever hit you . jason : okay , look at me . it 's going to be okay . everything 's going to be okay . michael : why am i acting like this ? jason : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] sonny : what the hell happened to my house ? claudia : i guess the decorators came . i was going to cancel them , but , you know , getting tossed down the stairs took it right out of my mind . sonny : but what -- claudia : what , you do n't like it ? sonny : huh ? claudia : you do n't like it ? i think it looks great . but what do i know ? hey , you know what ? change it back . i do n't think it really matters anyway . sonny : you do n't think it matters ? claudia : no . sonny : are you admitting that the baby is ric 's ? [ scene_break ] patrick : okay , i just ordered another round of tests , so we 're in a holding pattern . robin : good . we can go to the park . patrick : after i talk to the mayor , yeah . robin : can i watch ? patrick : do i have a choice ? mayor floyd : i did not hurt brianna . i never would . and i strongly advise you to take my word and put this matter to rest . otherwise , this could end up as uncomfortable for you as it is for me . patrick : mayor , i need to ask you a few questions about brianna hughes . exactly how -- mayor floyd : i 'm not answering any more of your questions , dr. drake . i 've already told you everything i know . and if brianna is in any kind of physical jeopardy , it 's because you botched her treatment . and if that 's so , well , i promise you 'll be hearing from our lawyer . robin : lovely . patrick : hmm . alexis : will you keep me apprised of brianna 's condition ? i want to question her as soon as possible . patrick : yeah . well , i guess i 'm all yours . matt : patrick . patrick : yeah . matt : i need you . brianna hughes , she 's seizing . [ scene_break ] maxie : we were n't socializing or anything . lulu : absolutely not . kate : then why is mr. jackal here ? last time i checked , he was n't an employee , which means he has no official reason for being here during business hours . maxie : my computer had a virus , and spinelli was nice enough to come over here and obliterate it . kate : is the problem solved , mr. jackal ? spinelli : i 'd like to double - check . see , it 's not your run - of - the - mill bug . it 's the grand clemenza virus . it 's particularly virulent and persistent when unauthorized access of confidential files opens a portal of opportunity -- kate : [ clears throat ] okay , i 'm sure that 's all very relevant . so just de- virus it and depart . maxie , since you insist on pushing the boundaries and continuing to ignore my express wishes , i 'm going to demote you to second assistant today . maxie : i 'm sorry , what ? what did i do that was wrong ? i just had spinelli come over here and fix my computer . kate : maxie , you should have called tech services . that 's what we pay them for . choices have consequences , and yours is to stay here while lulu goes with me to donatella 's yacht for drinks . maxie : kate , i do n't think that 's very fair . lulu : i do n't do boats well . i get sick . kate : well , a yacht is n't a boat . it 's a floating mansion . so be ready in 30 minutes . maxie : sometimes i hate her . lulu : you know that i do n't want this . spinelli : nor do i. i would never intentionally cause trouble to rain down on your lovely head . maxie : no , it 's okay . kate 's just being an arbitrary diva again . we just need to shock that smug look off of her face and give her a dose of reality . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm such a loser , crying like a little bitch . jason : no , you 're not . you 're allowed , and do n't let anyone tell you that you ca n't . michael : am i allowed to hit you ? i mean , where 'd that even come from ? jason : michael , you have a brain injury . the circuits that were broken have not figured out a way to reconnect yet , so things that you never had to think twice about before -- you know , how to control your emotions or what you might think is appropriate behavior , that stuff you learn growing up , you have to relearn it . and that 's going to take some time . michael : i hate this , jason . i mean , sometimes i wish i could just go back to sleep . jason : look , i know -- i know this is frustrating for you . michael : you understand , but will anyone else ? i mean , i 'm a complete train wreck . i scream at nurses , throw things , lash out at people who are just trying to help me . what if i ca n't relearn that stuff that you said ? what if -- you know , what if i go into a sudden rage and do something terrible ? jason : you wo n't . because who you are , your foundation has n't changed just because you were shot . yeah , you 're in for a tough time ahead of you . there 's no doubt about that . but i know that you can make a bad situation better , because i know that 's who you are . michael : i 'll probably need your help . jason : any time . [ scene_break ] carly : you do n't have to do this , you know . jax : i see . after getting michael a flat - screen tv , a new gaming system and a pinball machine for his room , getting him a refrigerator would be over the top ? carly : it 's very thoughtful and generous . and you know what else would be thoughtful and generous ? jax : you want me to get you some of that tofu ice cream you like so much . carly : well , i do n't actually like tofu ice cream , and i would n't look at it twice . jax : right . carly : except that i 'm pregnant , and i 'm on a restricted diet . jax : well , since you do n't have a choice , do you want me to get you some or not ? carly : yes , i 'd love some tofu ice cream . jax : great . carly : you know what i 'd like even more ? jax : what 's that ? carly : to know why you 've been so distracted today . it 's not because of michael . is it me ? am i doing something that 's driving you crazy ? jax : no , not in the slightest . carly : so , you 're not going to tell me ? jax : it 's just seeing morgan , you know ? so happy to have his big brother back . it just reminds me of me and jerry when we were kids . how i idolized him . i wanted to be just like him . and i thought he could turn his life around , but -- you know , i thought there were lines he would n't cross , but i was wrong about that . carly : i 'm sorry . i know that jerry has hurt you , and i know he 's disappointed you . jax : yeah , well -- carly : i know in a lot of ways he was a hero to you , just like michael 's a hero to morgan . but you 're not responsible for anything jerry did . you know , we have to focus on the good . we do . we 're together . we have michael , morgan , and this little baby on the way . and if that does n't do it for you , then just think about how grateful i 'm going to be when you come back with my tofu ice cream . jax : ooh . exactly how grateful are you going to be , mrs. jacks ? carly : i ca n't wait to show you , mr. jacks .

[ scene_break ] morgan : jax is so cool . he really went out to get michael his own fridge ? carly : yeah , i hope he gets a small one . you know how jax can overdo everything . and i do n't want you to think we 're playing favorites with michael . he needs the fridge so he does n't struggle going downstairs to get water . or in his case , soda . morgan : i get it . we have to do everything we can to make things easier for michael . i 'm just glad he 's coming home . carly : you miss your brother , do n't you ? morgan : a lot . carly : get it , get it , get it , get it . [ explosion sound effect ] morgan : yes ! carly : you know , come here . i want to tell you something . i counted on you a whole bunch the whole time michael was lost , and i want you to know that you came through . you did . you were wonderful . and you were brave in a very scary time . and i just want to thank you for that , morgan . morgan : it 's okay . carly : and you know , jax is right when he says we 're going to need some adjustment time . we 're going to have to learn to live together all over again . but that 's okay . michael is back , and we 're all going to be together , and we 're going to be a family . morgan : what if michael is so different that he does n't like me anymore ? carly : what ? hey , you 've been around michael . does it seem like he does n't like you ? morgan : no . carly : there you go . your big brother loves you , you know ? and you guys are going to be even closer after this . morgan : i ca n't wait until michael is all better . he 's going to teach me how to drive . carly : that 's going to be some trick , since he does n't even know how to drive himself . morgan : he 's old enough to learn . michael already said he 's getting a car . that way he can drive back and forth whenever he wants to . carly : well , i guess i 'm going to have to cross that bridge when i get to it . [ scene_break ] jason : michael is in trouble . sonny : what ? what happened ? jason : i found him in his room at the hospital . he was throwing things . he was yelling at elizabeth . and he punched me . sonny : he hit you ? jason : yeah , it 's fine . i calmed him down . i did whatever i could to reassure him . but he 's got some major self - control issues . sonny : do you think it 's okay for him to live with carly ? because i do n't want him going off on her and morgan . jason : i think that he hit me because i 'm a safe place for him to take his aggression out . but he did n't touch elizabeth . he was violently angry enough to convince me there was reason to worry . [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . your message sounded frantic . what 's going on ? claudia : i think i have a dead baby inside me . you 're probably happy about that . johnny : why would you say something like that to me ? claudia : i do n't know . did you forget ? i sure as hell did n't forget . you thought i sprouted a tail and horns for getting pregnant in the first place . well , do n't worry , john . you got your wish . the mob wo n't have another little child to damage , and ric wo n't have a baby to worry about and cause trouble for whether it 's his or not his . johnny : claudia , back up . are you sure the baby is dead ? claudia : dr. lee could n't find a heartbeat . sonny came in . i started doing that whole lying - covering thing that i do so well . i told him everything was fine and i left with him , as if he cared . all he cared about was how soon i could have an amniocentesis to establish the paternity of the child . it will be ironic when he realizes that that wo n't be necessary . [ scene_break ] alexis : for someone who is about to be a daddy , you do n't seem very happy . jax : hey . yeah , well , it 's not easy keeping secrets from my wife while the person who should be in jail gets to happily build a new life . alexis : you had a valid reason for letting jerry go . jax : yeah , i thought so at the time . alexis : you were trying to protect your wife and your baby - to - be , and that can be considered noble . jax : i just want the children living under my roof to have a realistic understanding of who they can trust and who they ca n't . alexis : why does it sound to me like you 're referring to someone other than jerry jax : what makes you say that ? alexis : because jerry is gone , and he 's not influencing anyone under your roof . and maybe it 's just a notion -- was someone else involved in michael 's shooting ? [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , i get that kate at unfair , but that 's a tradeoff for having this job . you love this job . you 've said before that this is the only thing that you 've done right . maxie : that was before spinelli , and he 's taught me to have faith in myself and trust my unique thing that i bring to the table . i mean , if i was able to impress kate enough to get this job , then i 'll probably impress her replacement enough to keep . and you , too . we 're kind of like a package deal . lulu : right . but that 's the part that you 're not getting . if he exposes kate and she gets replaced , any good editor - in - chief will come in with their new assistants , okay ? if you want to stay in fashion , you 'll probably have to move to manhattan or london or paris . spinelli : is that true ? maxie : pretty much . lulu : wow , this is monumental . maxie jones is willing to give up something important to support someone else . i am so happy for you , spinelli . you have accomplished the impossible . but if you care about maxie , which i know you do , you will drop this , because this is not good for anybody here . kate : oh , mr. jackal , i see you 're still here . lulu , let 's go . maxie , while i 'm gone , i 'd like you to research a new office chair . i 'd like to see 30 examples , different ones , waiting on my desk when we return . come on , lulu . spinelli : maybe lulu is right . better the devil you know than the one you do n't . maxie : right . well , i want the devil i know gone . so keep digging , and we 're going to get whatever information we can on kate so we can blow her out of the water . [ scene_break ] robin : do we have a next of kin yet on brianna hughes ? epiphany : just her employer , the mayor 's office . elizabeth : are you scrubbing in ? robin : no , i 'm not needed in o.r . but i 'm very much needed in the park with my daughter . elizabeth : good for you . patrick : dr. hunter will be performing the hughes surgery . elizabeth : you 're going to be assisting , though , right ? patrick : yes . matt : no , it is not necessary . patrick : with all due respect , i 'm the one with the experience . you have none . it would be smart to at least have me in the room to observe . matt : no , i 've got it handled . the only thing i need from my big brother seems to be the one thing he is incapable of giving me -- a vote of confidence . patrick : really ? okay , well , here is how little you know . you 'll be fine . call my cell if you need me . i 'm going to the park with my wife . [ scene_break ] alexis : listen , you and i are on really thin ice for not turning jerry in when we had the chance . jax : yeah . alexis : if there is someone else involved in michael 's shooting , if jerry had a partner , i want to know . jax : no , there 's no one else . i mean , besides ian devlin , jerry acted alone . alexis : keeping secrets can be painful . i know that . my family was built on them . but sometimes , a secret is necessary . sometimes it 's noble . and you 're doing this out of love for your family . so that 's understandable . but if you tell carly now to ease your own conscience , then you 're doing it at her expense . and i do n't think you really want to do that , do you ? jax : carly and the baby mean everything to me . i 'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're the only one who knows what he 's going through . give it to me from his point of view . jason : well , it 's a similar situation , but i can only speak from what i went through . and you know how angry i was all the time . but for me , it was a fight to be myself , whoever that was . i needed to take some type of control of my life and not be who everybody else wanted me to be . but i lashed out at everybody . sonny : yeah . jason : and now , looking back , you know , i made some bad decisions in those moments of anger . sonny : like coming to work for me ? jason : no , man -- sonny : no -- jason : i do n't regret that . i do n't regret that . but i do n't want michael making a choice like that just to prove to everybody how independent he is . sonny : he 's not ever going to be in the business . trust me . jason : well , he 's going to find some business , and that 's what i 'm afraid of . because he gets mad , he 's scared , and he does n't know why . he blows up . he blames himself . he ca n't point at why he just did that . and he blames himself again . and he gets angry . it 's a dangerous cycle , sonny . [ phone rings ] sonny : hello . michael : hi , dad . sonny : how you doing , buddy ? how you feeling ? michael : like an idiot . i did something really stupid today . i lost my temper , starting yelling , throwing things . i even hit jason . sonny : yeah , i heard . michael : i 'm really scared , dad . what if it happens at mom 's ? please , can i just come live with you ?

[ clears throat ] excuse me . would it be possible for me to question brianna hughes ? patrick : yeah . may i ask why the d.a . is involved ? alexis : because we have a maid who believes she may have heard the accident at the metro court , or a struggle . patrick : okay , well , brianna is not ready to talk yet . robin and i just were conferring , and we need to run more tests . alexis : some concern that you have ? patrick : the head injury is a lot more serious than the circumstances suggest . alexis : excuse me . i agreed to keep this whole sordid episode under the radar for reasons that you and i are both aware of . but that does not and will not extend to covering up assault . mayor floyd : assault ? what are you talking about ? brianna was n't assaulted . alexis : well , garrett , according to the doctors , the head injury tells another story . so why do n't you go through this again from the top , and this time , do n't leave anything out . [ scene_break ] jax : now , why would you say something mean like that ? you do n't think i 'm excited that michael 's coming home ? carly : yes , yes , i know you are . i just -- i just wish we would have put that pool in . you know , if we would have put that pool in , michael could use it . i keep thinking about everything he would want or need and that would really help him with his physical therapy . jax : there 's a pool at the new house . and he can use the one at the hotel in the meantime , so -- carly : i just want him to have everything he wants right here and right now . a lot to make up for . and not that i can give him back the year that he lost , but it would just be nice to -- did i tell you we were going to be skydiving out of an airplane ? except that we 're not really going to be using parachutes . the airplane is just going to dangle us outside the windows and just drop us anywhere . did i tell you that ? jax : sounds good . carly : jax . jax : what ? carly : what is going on with you ? you 've been , like , half here all day . jax : i 'm trying -- reading the instruction manual . morgan : is michael coming home today ?

[ scene_break ] robin : the mayor looks like he just threw up in his mouth . patrick : well , he 's got a lot to worry about . not only was he busted cheating on his wife , but the woman he was with could be seriously injured . mayor floyd : i freely admit to having an assignation with brianna . i assure you it was consensual . brianna and i are very much involved . alexis : that 's real sweet , garrett . how 's your wife feel about that ? mayor floyd : you know very well the problems i 've had with my wife . nothing 's changed . so , yes , brianna and i were in an embrace in the shower . it got athletic . she hit her head . it was very painful . brianna thought acetaminophen would help , so i went down to the gift store , i got some . when i came back , she was unconscious . alexis : that story is not going to work , garrett , because her head injury is too severe . you need to tell me exactly what happened , and you need to know that i 'm not covering up an assault charge .

[ scene_break ] carly : you do n't have to do this , you know . jax : i see . after getting michael a flat - screen tv , a new gaming system and a pinball machine for his room , getting him a refrigerator would be over the top ? carly : it 's very thoughtful and generous . and you know what else would be thoughtful and generous ? jax : you want me to get you some of that tofu ice cream you like so much . carly : well , i do n't actually like tofu ice cream , and i would n't look at it twice . jax : right . carly : except that i 'm pregnant , and i 'm on a restricted diet . jax : well , since you do n't have a choice , do you want me to get you some or not ? carly : yes , i 'd love some tofu ice cream . jax : great . carly : you know what i 'd like even more ? jax : what 's that ? carly : to know why you 've been so distracted today . it 's not because of michael . is it me ? am i doing something that 's driving you crazy ? jax : no , not in the slightest . carly : so , you 're not going to tell me ? jax : it 's just seeing morgan , you know ? so happy to have his big brother back . it just reminds me of me and jerry when we were kids . how i idolized him . i wanted to be just like him . and i thought he could turn his life around , but -- you know , i thought there were lines he would n't cross , but i was wrong about that . carly : i 'm sorry . i know that jerry has hurt you , and i know he 's disappointed you . jax : yeah , well -- carly : i know in a lot of ways he was a hero to you , just like michael 's a hero to morgan . but you 're not responsible for anything jerry did . you know , we have to focus on the good . we do . we 're together . we have michael , morgan , and this little baby on the way . and if that does n't do it for you , then just think about how grateful i 'm going to be when you come back with my tofu ice cream . jax : ooh . exactly how grateful are you going to be , mrs. jacks ? carly : i ca n't wait to show you , mr. jacks . [ scene_break ] sonny : if you are lying to my face , if this baby is ric 's , it would be best for you to come clean now , because you are not going to ride this bluff until august . and do n't try to switch the dna test -- claudia : you 'd love it , would n't you ? you would love it if this was ric 's baby . why ? because then you 'd be free of all your obligations . you can just shake it off and go back to your life . no more inconvenient woman and inconvenient baby . to hell with you . you 're not the most important person in the room anymore . my baby is , at least to me . i do n't expect you to give a damn .

[ scene_break ] morgan : jax is so cool . he really went out to get michael his own fridge ? carly : yeah , i hope he gets a small one . you know how jax can overdo everything . and i do n't want you to think we 're playing favorites with michael . he needs the fridge so he does n't struggle going downstairs to get water . or in his case , soda . morgan : i get it . we have to do everything we can to make things easier for michael . i 'm just glad he 's coming home . carly : you miss your brother , do n't you ? morgan : a lot . carly : get it , get it , get it , get it . [ explosion sound effect ] morgan : yes ! carly : you know , come here . i want to tell you something . i counted on you a whole bunch the whole time michael was lost , and i want you to know that you came through . you did . you were wonderful . and you were brave in a very scary time . and i just want to thank you for that , morgan . morgan : it 's okay . carly : and you know , jax is right when he says we 're going to need some adjustment time . we 're going to have to learn to live together all over again . but that 's okay . michael is back , and we 're all going to be together , and we 're going to be a family . morgan : what if michael is so different that he does n't like me anymore ? carly : what ? hey , you 've been around michael . does it seem like he does n't like you ? morgan : no . carly : there you go . your big brother loves you , you know ? and you guys are going to be even closer after this . morgan : i ca n't wait until michael is all better . he 's going to teach me how to drive . carly : that 's going to be some trick , since he does n't even know how to drive himself . morgan : he 's old enough to learn . michael already said he 's getting a car . that way he can drive back and forth whenever he wants to . carly : well , i guess i 'm going to have to cross that bridge when i get to it . [ scene_break ] jason : michael is in trouble . sonny : what ? what happened ? jason : i found him in his room at the hospital . he was throwing things . he was yelling at elizabeth . and he punched me . sonny : he hit you ? jason : yeah , it 's fine . i calmed him down . i did whatever i could to reassure him . but he 's got some major self - control issues . sonny : do you think it 's okay for him to live with carly ? because i do n't want him going off on her and morgan . jason : i think that he hit me because i 'm a safe place for him to take his aggression out . but he did n't touch elizabeth . he was violently angry enough to convince me there was reason to worry . [ scene_break ] johnny : hey . your message sounded frantic . what 's going on ? claudia : i think i have a dead baby inside me . you 're probably happy about that . johnny : why would you say something like that to me ? claudia : i do n't know . did you forget ? i sure as hell did n't forget . you thought i sprouted a tail and horns for getting pregnant in the first place . well , do n't worry , john . you got your wish . the mob wo n't have another little child to damage , and ric wo n't have a baby to worry about and cause trouble for whether it 's his or not his . johnny : claudia , back up . are you sure the baby is dead ? claudia : dr. lee could n't find a heartbeat . sonny came in . i started doing that whole lying - covering thing that i do so well . i told him everything was fine and i left with him , as if he cared . all he cared about was how soon i could have an amniocentesis to establish the paternity of the child . it will be ironic when he realizes that that wo n't be necessary . [ scene_break ] alexis : for someone who is about to be a daddy , you do n't seem very happy . jax : hey . yeah , well , it 's not easy keeping secrets from my wife while the person who should be in jail gets to happily build a new life . alexis : you had a valid reason for letting jerry go . jax : yeah , i thought so at the time . alexis : you were trying to protect your wife and your baby - to - be , and that can be considered noble . jax : i just want the children living under my roof to have a realistic understanding of who they can trust and who they ca n't . alexis : why does it sound to me like you 're referring to someone other than jerry jax : what makes you say that ? alexis : because jerry is gone , and he 's not influencing anyone under your roof . and maybe it 's just a notion -- was someone else involved in michael 's shooting ? [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , i get that kate at unfair , but that 's a tradeoff for having this job . you love this job . you 've said before that this is the only thing that you 've done right . maxie : that was before spinelli , and he 's taught me to have faith in myself and trust my unique thing that i bring to the table . i mean , if i was able to impress kate enough to get this job , then i 'll probably impress her replacement enough to keep . and you , too . we 're kind of like a package deal . lulu : right . but that 's the part that you 're not getting . if he exposes kate and she gets replaced , any good editor - in - chief will come in with their new assistants , okay ? if you want to stay in fashion , you 'll probably have to move to manhattan or london or paris . spinelli : is that true ? maxie : pretty much . lulu : wow , this is monumental . maxie jones is willing to give up something important to support someone else . i am so happy for you , spinelli . you have accomplished the impossible . but if you care about maxie , which i know you do , you will drop this , because this is not good for anybody here . kate : oh , mr. jackal , i see you 're still here . lulu , let 's go . maxie , while i 'm gone , i 'd like you to research a new office chair . i 'd like to see 30 examples , different ones , waiting on my desk when we return . come on , lulu . spinelli : maybe lulu is right . better the devil you know than the one you do n't . maxie : right . well , i want the devil i know gone . so keep digging , and we 're going to get whatever information we can on kate so we can blow her out of the water .

[ scene_break ] alexis : listen , you and i are on really thin ice for not turning jerry in when we had the chance . jax : yeah . alexis : if there is someone else involved in michael 's shooting , if jerry had a partner , i want to know . jax : no , there 's no one else . i mean , besides ian devlin , jerry acted alone . alexis : keeping secrets can be painful . i know that . my family was built on them . but sometimes , a secret is necessary . sometimes it 's noble . and you 're doing this out of love for your family . so that 's understandable . but if you tell carly now to ease your own conscience , then you 're doing it at her expense . and i do n't think you really want to do that , do you ? jax : carly and the baby mean everything to me . i 'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe . [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're the only one who knows what he 's going through . give it to me from his point of view . jason : well , it 's a similar situation , but i can only speak from what i went through . and you know how angry i was all the time . but for me , it was a fight to be myself , whoever that was . i needed to take some type of control of my life and not be who everybody else wanted me to be . but i lashed out at everybody . sonny : yeah . jason : and now , looking back , you know , i made some bad decisions in those moments of anger . sonny : like coming to work for me ? jason : no , man -- sonny : no -- jason : i do n't regret that . i do n't regret that . but i do n't want michael making a choice like that just to prove to everybody how independent he is . sonny : he 's not ever going to be in the business . trust me . jason : well , he 's going to find some business , and that 's what i 'm afraid of . because he gets mad , he 's scared , and he does n't know why . he blows up . he blames himself . he ca n't point at why he just did that . and he blames himself again . and he gets angry . it 's a dangerous cycle , sonny . [ phone rings ] sonny : hello . michael : hi , dad . sonny : how you doing , buddy ? how you feeling ? michael : like an idiot . i did something really stupid today . i lost my temper , starting yelling , throwing things . i even hit jason . sonny : yeah , i heard . michael : i 'm really scared , dad . what if it happens at mom 's ? please , can i just come live with you ?

nick : well , you are currently dating a social media warrior . chelsea : oh ? am i ? nick : yeah . i scheduled a rally later today , you know , a protest , even before i knew about this deal . just because victor lost out -- this was never about him . this is about katherine and our city , so we 're gon na get together , get a bunch of signs and banners , and make a bunch of noise , and hopefully get some press out of it . chelsea : signs and banners . nick : yep . as many as we can muster up . chelsea : how do you plan to get those ? nick : well , my super - hot girlfriend is an amazing designer , so ... chelsea : i do appreciate the flattery , except this particular time -- nick : it 's not gon na get me anywhere , is it ? chelsea : normally , i would love to help , but i 'm in the middle of providing three holiday custom gowns for , like , the grande dames of genoa city , and .. nick : it 's okay . i get it . work comes first . but if you can get away , you know , you 've got a set of lungs on you . we could really use you at the park , you know , to yell . chelsea : set of lungs ? what do you mean ? i do n't yell . i barely yell . that 's not true . nick : i do n't know about that . come to the rally , please . chelsea : i will try . i promise . and if i ca n't be there , i will be cheering you on in spirit . hilary : and those are all the big story ideas for next week . jack : hmm . hilary : i think that we can both agree that they 're strong , empowering , and they maintain that buzz - worthy feel that my audience looks forward to every day . jack : it is very important to me and to the company that this show be on - brand for jabot . i want these segments to have meaning in people 's lives , to be more than just mindless entertainment . hilary : and i think that that 's exactly what i just presented to you . positive , in some cases , even inspiring stories . if you do n't agree , jack , then i do n't really know -- jack : no , i actually do agree . i think this is a giant improvement on the show . and you clearly have a knack for these upbeat stories , and to be honest , i was n't sure you 'd be able to deliver , and you have . you know , this is not the old `` the hilary hour , `` and this , you have convinced me is a different hilary than the one who used to go to such lengths to get the latest snark and gossip . hilary : oh , it is still me , jack . always me , just a different side . jack : it 's a lovely side , and you should be very proud of what you 're doing . i know i am . mariah : wow . you 're really committed to that clean - up job . i respect that . i also will let you do this every day , if you want . scott : yeah , no , i 'm -- i 'm good with sharing the job . mariah : [ laughs ] scott : so , uh , what 's on the schedule for today , faith ? any big plans for your winter break ? mariah : well , i for one have a very rare day off , so i am going to binge - watch tv . just nothing with a host , co - host , or interviews of any kind . sharon : well , it 's a beautiful day , and it 's not too cold . why do n't you take faith ice skating ? [ doorbell rings ] mariah : huh , cold outside versus warm inside . that 's gon na be a tough call . sharon : oh ! hi , nick . nick : hey . sorry to just bust in . i got a busy day . i need all hands on deck . sharon : oh , that 's right . i 'm sorry , i forgot . the rally . nick : well , it 's lucky i didn't . i mean , i have a park full of people , ready to go . mariah : great . i guess i 'm going outside after all . nick : uh - huh . faith : daddy ! nick : hey . how are you ? faith : good . nick : guess what i have -- hand warmers just in case your hands get cold at the rally . you are coming , right ? faith : mm - hmm . mariah : i 'm sorry , no hand warmers for moi ? nick : i 'll make you a deal . i 'm gon na hook you both up with hand warmers if you help me make a banner , and i 'm talking a huge one , like major visual impact . mariah : i 'm sorry , does your father not understand who he 's talking to ? because we are the dream team of visual impact . faith : we have paint in the garage . mariah : what are you thinking , cardboard or a sheet ? nick : i 'm gon na leave this decision in your very capable hands , but let 's get going . mariah : ready to get messy , kiddo ? faith : always . mariah : teamwork makes the dream work . nick : [ laughs ] all right , you , uh , want in on this sign thing ? sharon : you know what , scott and i , we need to talk . scott : you know , you were right the other day . the fight is really important for the community , and i think you and i can catch some alone time later . nick : all right , just forget i asked . i got the dream team on it . i do n't want to mess up their creative mojo by bringing their mom in , so you guys , uh , you know , spend some private time . you 're good . nikki : i know it 's unnerving to have your ex - husband investigate your family 's company , but at the same time , it must be nice for reed to see his father , especially so close to christmas . victoria : well , in theory , it 's wonderful , but reed has been avoiding j.t . nikki : i thought they were getting along better . victoria : maybe because they were on separate continents . billy : hey . hi . nikki : hi . billy : hope i 'm not interrupting . nikki : oh , no . victoria : no , i was just telling mom that j.t . is back in town . billy : yeah , that he is . victoria : [ sighs ] well , billy stopped by the house last night , and he was there . nikki : oh . how was your reunion ? billy : oh , i 'd like to say warm and fuzzy . nikki : but ... billy : too much history . i mean , we 're talking about a guy who did everything he could to get custody of reed and then tried to take him out of the country . i feel like i can hold a grudge when it 's for the right reason , and this is one of those times . plus , what he did to vick -- victoria : that he said i was a terrible mother ? it 's not about me . it 's about reed . and he 's living with me now , by choice . that 's all that matters . nikki : i hate the idea of j.t . causing more pain for you and your family . billy : well , hope it 's a quick in - and - out trip , you know ? plus , i think i 'll take reed 's example and stay away from j.t . as much as possible . hilary : will all of our meetings be like this , you handing me compliments and coffee ? because i could used to this . jack : as long as you 're doing great work , and i 'm sure you will be . hilary : did you see how i stayed away from the snark and the gossip during cane 's interview ? i had no mention of lily or his family drama , and trust me , there is plenty of it . jack : i 'm glad you brought that up . yes , kudos on the restraint , but i would rather you run an interview like that by me first . hilary : why would i do that ? jack : because i am your primary sponsor , and as such , i am your producer . with veto power . and i would veto a show about the competition . hilary : since when is jabot competing with chancellor ? they do n't even have a cosmetics division . jack : chancellor is a major player in town , and in the world of `` the hilary hour , `` there is only one company upon which we are heaping praise . hilary : oh , and this does n't sound like jealousy at all . jack : it 's how the game is played . any company that is not jabot is a rival . hilary : and cane got that winning hand with that splashy business story . jack : he gets one every lifetime . hilary : i think i like this jack abbott . it reminds me of myself . you hate not being number one . and considering that victor and cane are ahead of you at this point ... jack : at this point . trust me , i 'm going to be changing that very soon . faith : [ shivers ] no hand warmer yet ? nick : no , no . you 're gon na have to earn that . so the hot chocolate 's gon na have to do the trick . mariah : all right . thank you so much . yeah . i 'll see you there . all right , so that was the camera operator . he 's good to go and he 's gon na meet us in the park . nick : do you really think hilary will air it ? mariah : oh , yeah . hilary 's all about the feel - good empowerment , grassroots campaign right now . and , plus , she 's not gon na pay for any footage that she does n't air . faith : i am gon na get back to work . nick : all right , hot chocolate will be ready in a couple minutes . faith : got it ! mariah : you know , i can stay inside here , the warm house , while you go back out there and get paint all over you . nick : ah . nice try . mariah : mm , it was worth a try . nick : why do n't you , uh , you know , tell me how things are going around here , you know , with scott moving in . mariah : besides the compromising moments i 've accidentally walked in on ? nick : whoa ! no ! do n't want to hear about that . mariah : be glad you 're just hearing about it . nick : i 'm talking about more , like , family - friendly information , you know ? like how faith is handling it . mariah : well , uh , she seemed fine , but the last few days , she has n't been that chatty with scott . nick : that 's my girl . i 'm just saying , you know , scott is n't nearly as charming as he thinks he is , and if faith is having a problem with it ... mariah : whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa . i -- i did n't say that there was a problem . nick : i 'll just talk to sharon about it . mariah : whoa , whoa , whoa . all i said is that faith is n't being that chatty . nick : well , that is a problem because faith talks -- a lot . you know that . mariah : and i know that you want to jump all over this because scott bugs you . nick : also , faith is my kid , so ... mariah : look , why do n't you just let me do the big - sister thing here . i 'll keep an eye on the situation , handle sharon . it 's probably nothing . scott : yeah , whatever works for your schedule . great . yeah , i got your book and that e - mail you sent with the articles . yeah , i 'll give them a read , and then we 'll touch base . cool , sounds good . sharon : can that call wait ? i know the last five could n't , but i really need to talk to you . scott : you know , i might be out of the office , but it does n't mean i do n't have work to do . sharon : i 'm just asking for some of your time , scott . this is important . scott : [ sighs ] sharon : so , i scared you when i told you that i loved you . scott : that 's not true . i -- i just might have needed a second to catch up , but i did . sharon : you recited the words back to me , and , scott , you hesitated . and you did n't really sound all that convincing . so just be honest . did you feel obligated and forced to tell me what you thought i wanted to hear ? and is that why you 've been avoiding me ? to mariah . nick : uh , you 're not gon na skip out on me that fast . [ imitates tires squealing ] sit down . i want to talk to you . faith : okay . nick : [ sighs ] what 's , uh ... what 's been going on around here with scott ? how 's that going ? faith : well , you know ... nick : `` well , you know ... `` that 's not exactly a ringing endorsement . i know your mom would n't move anyone in here that you did n't like . faith : i did like him . nick : but you do n't anymore ? did something happen ? what changed ? faith : mom is happy . she wants scott here . nick : but , faith , if you don't ... faith : i 'm fine . nick : is this kind of like when i moved in with chelsea ? that took some time to get used to . look , i know it 's not easy to let new people into your life , to make room for them , but maybe if you give scott a chance , you 'll realize that you do like him . hilary : how 's your mom ? jack : at the moment , she is developing a sweet tooth . after we 're done here , i am tasked with going to crimson lights . hilary : well , she sounds determined . jack : well , i guess that comes with watching hours of the stock market . be warned -- before we leave , she may be giving us investment advice . hilary : for you , maybe . i 'm sure i 'm still on her hit list . at the risk of going on yours , too ... jack : i do n't think i like the sound of that . hilary : my interview with cane yesterday ... it was interesting to me personally . it was a redemption story , okay ? cane , he screwed up in a big way , and i know because i plastered it all over my show , more than once , but look at him now . he is running chancellor , he is raising a baby that has medical needs . he did n't fall apart . he did n't play the victim . he pulled it off , and i did n't believe in him . jack : cane 's a smart man . under different circumstances , i would have hired him at jabot . he did make a big mistake , but you know what , underneath , i think he 's a good guy , and i 'm sure he 's going to give this new little baby boy all the love and attention he offered to mattie and charlie . hilary : did i tell you that i went to the hospital to see the baby ? jack : no . hilary : come here . now , come on . tell me -- tell me that this is not the cutest baby ever . jack : that he is . you look very comfortable holding a baby in your arms . hilary : me ? oh , god , no . my life is way too busy . the last thing that i need is a child . no . no , thank you very much . victoria : thank you very much for hanging out with the kids later . billy : absolutely . you 're a busy woman . before you go , though , i have to ask you -- does n't it kind of drive you nuts that the only reason j.t . is here is to investigate his former boss and his ex - father - in - law ? victoria : i do n't love it . it 's invasive . but i guess i 'd feel that way about anyone picking through the newman accounts . and , besides , j.t . says that he wo n't let his personal issues color any of his findings . billy : oh ! so noble of him . victoria : look , billy , i ca n't go there , okay ? i ca n't get all angry and defensive . if anything , maybe i can help j.t . and reed try to fix things between each other . billy : i think that 's a little easier said than done , vick . victoria : you know reed is harboring a lot of anger and resentment towards his father . i thought that maybe i could just help them try to meet in the middle . billy : or maybe j.t . will stand up and be a decent parent this time ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy : okay , hold on . i 'll shut up , all right ? you know what , you ca n't take this upon yourself , all right ? it 's the holidays . you got to have some fun , you got to do all those great things you do , like burn cookies with the kids . victoria : that 's not funny . billy : okay , i 'll come over and burn cookies with the kids . how 's that ? victoria : you 're welcome anytime . billy : okay . victoria : bring phyllis . billy : really ? victoria : yeah . billy : you know , if you 're not comfortable with that , she would totally understand . victoria : she 's a part of your life now , which means she 's a part of the kids ' lives . that 's just how it goes now . and i think that things will go a lot smoother between us now that you and i are n't working together . billy : well , yeah , because you fired me . victoria : you do n't seem very miserable . billy : no , i 'm actually not at all . i enjoy not working . it 's actually fantastic . how 's your career change , by the way ? victoria : i have to admit , it 's kind of a relief . i go to work , i care a lot . it 's difficult sometimes , but at least i do n't feel the pressure of running my own company . who knows ? maybe one day i 'll be my own boss again , but for now , i 'm fine . i mean it . bring phyllis . we 'll celebrate . it 's gon na be a great holiday . billy : look at us , huh ? friends again . i like it . victoria : i do , too . nick : hey , all right ! more park supporters ! awesome ! mariah : the camera operator is just getting a coffee , but he 's gon na be ready to roll when the time comes . nick : okay , i 'm gon na go find someplace to hang this banner . if more people show up , just fill them in , let them know what the plan is . mariah : okay , captain . faith : [ sighs ] mariah : hey . we 're alone . he 's gone . you can talk to me . faith : about what ? mariah : about whatever is going on between you and scott . i know you 're avoiding him . come on , if you 're upset , you can talk to me . tell me why . cone of silence . sister swear ? faith : i 'm not a little kid anymore . please do n't treat me like one . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hilary : [ sighs ] that was mariah at chancellor park . it turns out that nick newman is quite the local activist . jack : oh ? hilary : yeah , apparently , he 's staging a rally to oppose any future development on that land . jack : well , good for him . i will be there in spirit , if not in person . hilary : yes , you have enough on your plate with your mother and jabot and micromanaging my show . jack : what can i say ? i 'm a overachiever . and , by the way , this helps a lot , your meeting with me here . i appreciate it . hilary : well , you keep underwriting my show , and i will keep showing up . jack : oh , good . that 's good to know . hilary : jack ... you 're a really good friend , and you were the first person who gave me a break when i blew up my life . so if there 's anything that i could do to make your life easier ... jack : what 's going on ? you getting soft on me ? all this kind talk and baby pictures ... hilary : okay , you better watch it , all right ? friendship does not go that far . you 're a good man , jack . taking care of your mother . i 'm sure it 's not easy on dina . she 's feeling like a burden . i 'm sure it 's agony , a strong independent woman like that . especially when she 's so stubborn . jack : i suddenly realize how much you and she have in common . hilary : well , i do n't have any family , so i do n't have to worry about one day feeling like a burden . jack : speaking of that , what are you doing for christmas ? hilary : have we not met ? i 'm a little busy creating a media empire , so i will be working straight through . jack : so , no time off , huh ? hilary : no , i think i 'm just gon na let the other people deck the halls . `` the hilary hour `` does not believe in hiatuses . jack : that 's a shame . i was gon na invite you to have christmas with us , but , you know , you 're busy ... hilary : well , coming to my sponsor 's house , that would qualify as building my empire . jack : oh , building business relationships is terribly important . critical . hilary : yeah , and if that means coming and celebrating with you and your family , well , then , i guess ... i guess i accept . thank you , jack . jack : i look forward to it . now that we 're done here , i must address a sweet tooth that will not be ignored . hilary : [ chuckles ] sharon : obviously this was a mistake , and you 're not going to make time to talk today . scott : hey . hey , hey , hey . phone -- phone is going in my pocket . i 'm sorry . i do want to talk . we need to . sharon : but it 's like torture for you , and that worries me even more . maybe i 'm wrong . maybe we should just forget what i said and forget how you reacted . i ... do n't know where that leaves us . i mean , you live with me now , and my two daughters . scott : you 're right , i 'm avoiding , and we have to do this . both of us need to be honest about everything . you deserve that . i mean , what kind of guy am i if i ca n't give that to you ? sharon : so are you ready to do this , then ? to have this conversation ? scott : i am . sharon : knowing that whatever happens as a result ... happens ? scott : yeah , we just -- we ca n't do it here . too many distractions . come on . jack : nikki ? nikki : well , mr . abbott . how very nice to see you . where 's dina ? jack : she 's with mrs . martinez right now . she had a pastry craving and insisted they come from crimson lights . nikki : well , that 's a good sign , is n't it ? jack : some things she has a pretty firm grip on . other things ... she mistook a colleague of mine for traci in a video conference earlier . nikki : i 'm sorry . you 're a good son . you 're a brave man . jack : yeah , you say those words , and it sounds like pity . my mother 's the one who 's going through hell . i 'm just watching her do it . nikki : i say it completely out of admiration , jack . how many people can take on the world like you can ? jack : you know what , enough about me . let 's talk about something a lot more interesting . nikki : such as ? jack : i do n't know , you . nikki : trust me , there is absolutely nothing exciting about my life right now . jack : you seemed kind of lost in thought when i walked in . what 's on your mind ? nikki : well , there 's no fooling you , is there ? i have a difficult decision . earl grey and chamomile . jack : hey . hey . please , do n't lie to me . chelsea : hey . nick : hey . d ? did nobody show up ? nick : uh , just me , the girls , and a couple hundred genoa city loyalists . chelsea : [ gasps ] really ? nick : yeah , it was awesome . it 's gon na all be on the `` the hilary hour `` later , so you can check out the footage . we had some cheers , some chants , a bunch of signs , and one incredible banner . chelsea : that 's wonderful . nick : i did have to hand out a lot of hand warmers , though . chelsea : well , it 's a worthwhile investment . nick : you did n't think i could pull this off , did you ? chelsea : i did . nick : but you did n't stop worrying ever since i started in on it . chelsea : okay , that is not true . maybe i was , like , a little worried , at first . because victor was involved . nick : look , i 'm not worried about my dad . you should n't be , either . chelsea : you know what , i feel so bad now . i should have blown off my deadline to be there for you . nick : you 're gon na make the next one . chelsea : my david , going into battle with the anonymous goliath . nick : you 're picturing me like that statue -- naked , i mean . chelsea : [ giggles ] you did something really good today . something really worthwhile . and everybody , they showed up because of you , because you care , and you gave them something to care about . nick : well , we just have to keep at it until we know the park is safe from development . chelsea : oh , it 's gon na be safe 'cause there 's no stopping you . i 'm really proud . nick : it 'd probably be a good time to show me how proud you are . jack : i would hate to think i ruined our friendship when i said we should n't be together romantically . nikki : no , jack , we 're friends . we 'll always be friends . jack : okay , so talk to me . nikki : i did something rather impulsively , and now looking back on it , i think it was a mistake . jack : how bad ? nikki : it could ruin everything for me . i had my reasons , though . jack : and what were they ? nikki : oh , i was trying to beat victor at his own game , and ... now i think it 's backfiring on me . jack : funny , that 's how some of my favorite mistakes started . listen , maybe i can help you . nikki : no , i ca n't tell you , for your own good . jack : okay , i hope you are talking to someone you can trust . nikki : bringing other people into this mess , it just ... jack : nikki , you need to get out ahead of this thing . you let it unravel without you , you have no control , and then it 's just you against the inevitable . nikki : you tell me the last time you did that . jack : so do what i know you can do in this situation -- be smarter than me . mariah : what are you ordering ? faith . if you do n't want to be treated like a kid , do n't act like one . thank you . it 's just the two of us here , and i really need you to tell me what 's going on . this is about scott , obviously , and if you 're upset or ticked off , then i 'm the person to tell . i 'm not your mom . you 're not gon na upset me with whatever you have to say , and i 'm not your dad , either . so it 's not like you have to choose a side . i have one side , and that 's yours . so talk to me . faith : it 's nothing . it took me a while to get used to living with chelsea , too . mariah : so that 's what you 're saying this is ? you 're just getting used to having scott around ? mm , i do n't buy it . faith : so now i 'm a liar ? mariah : [ scoffs ] look . mom is gon na pick up on this . she 's gon na notice that you 're not even talking to scott , and she 's gon na ask what 's going on . what are you gon na do then , lie to her , as well ? faith : i do n't want to get in trouble . mariah : why , what did you do ? faith : i went to the park the other day to skate with my friends . after mom said i could n't go . sharon : okay , we 're here . it 's private . let 's say what needs to be said . scott : when you told me you loved me ... sharon : it scared you . scott : no , it moved me . sharon : that 's not what it seemed . scott : it was one of those moments that stops you in your tracks . sharon : well , you could n't have been surprised , scott . i mean , i asked you to move in with me and my kids . i would n't have added someone to the equation if i did n't love him . scott : but you invited me to live here without mentioning love , and i thought maybe that 's how this works . i move in , and love 's off the table until things develop into something more serious . sharon : something more serious than living under the same roof ? scott : yeah . sharon : oh , my god . scott : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i do n't have a ton of experience with long - term committed relationships , and that was by choice . i had my job , i had travel , and the risk ... when i did let myself fall in love , it just -- sharon : it ended badly , i know . scott : so i 've just avoided relationships in general . sharon : i asked you to move in here , and you said yes . so here we are . now , you can say that you were moved or you were touched and you were overwhelmed when i finally said the words , but this is where we are now . so i do n't know why you moved in here if ... if the words `` i love you `` would send you into a tailspin . did n't you know that you were just setting me up to be hurt ? devon : hello , hilary . hilary : hey . devon : thank you . hey , what do you , uh ... what do you have going on for the holidays ? what are your plans ? maybe you can come by and get a bite to eat and have a drink . hilary : i would love to , really , but i will be spending the day with the abbotts . devon : really ? hilary : really . devon : okay , well , you enjoy yourself , and if anything changes ... hilary : you will be the first to know . mariah : look , kiddo , i 'm serious , you really ca n't sweat the small stuff . faith : but what if mom finds out ? mariah : well , she 's not gon na find out from me . but here 's what i do n't understand . how does you going to the park without mom 's permission connect to scott ? faith : he was there , at the cafe in the park . i hid so he would n't see me . he was n't alone . mariah : who was he with ? faith : abby . mariah : were they fighting again ? i mean , they do that a lot . maybe it was about newman , something to do with grandpa or aunt victoria ... faith : i could n't hear what they were saying . but they started to leave . then scott came back ... and he kissed abby . like , really kissed her . scott : i hate this . i 'm not saying it right . when you said you loved me , it hit me . it made me realize that i have to make a decision about ... what i really want out of life . sharon : you know what that is now ? scott : i want you , sharon . i want this . i want all of this . you 're different than anyone i 've ever known . maybe that 's because you 've been through so much . you do n't waste time , you do n't play games . you know exactly what you want , agenda - free . do you have any idea how rare that is ? people flounder . they try and they fail and they give up and they move on . you opened up your heart to me in a way that no one ever has . or ever will . it makes me want to do the same . i love you , sharon . fully . truly . forever . nikki : victoria . can we talk in private ? victoria : yeah , let 's go in dad 's office . he 's out for the day . what 's wrong ? nikki : um ... have you heard anything new from j.t . about the audit ? victoria : no , not since we talked . why ? nikki : well , um ... victoria : is everything okay ? nikki : i have a confession to make . i hate even dragging you into this , but it 's just been eating away at me too much . victoria : what is it ? nikki : i stole from your father . i took funds from his personal account and moved them to an offshore bank . victoria : mom ... no . why ? nikki : if j.t . finds out ... victoria : he 's not gon na back down from this . nikki : i know ! that 's why if i ever discovers what i did , i -- victoria : you could go to prison . | nikki and victoria got together and talked about jt 's return and investigation . billy informed victoria and nikki that he was still angry with jt for taking reed from victoria all those years ago . victoria hoped to help reed reconcile with jt . billy urged victoria to have some fun . victoria told billy that he could bring phyllis with him when he came to visit the kids . nick and devon discussed the purchase of chancellor park by a mystery buyer . sharon felt like scott had been avoiding her since she said she loved him , and she insisted that they talk . scott kept putting the conversation off , but eventually , he told her that her declaration made him think about what he wanted in life , and he wanted her . hilary met with jack to discuss the direction of her show . he was proud of hilary for embracing the more positive and upbeat angle that he 'd insisted on . jack was n't thrilled that hilary interviewed cane , which gave free press to chancellor , a rival . jack vowed to best victor and cane , and hilary was pleased to see jack 's competitive side reemerging . she showed jack pictures of sam and talked about holding him . hilary accepted jack 's invitation to christmas dinner . devon later invited hilary to spend the holiday with him , but she told him she had plans . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] sharon : this is how it should be -- you and me , here , after a perfect night . scott , i love you . [ sam crying ] cane : oh , there you go . hilary : you 're the cutest little thing ever , huh ? jack : i 'm saying i want to sponsor your show . chelsea : they want to sell chancellor park ? nick : do n't worry , mom and i are on it . we are not going down without a fight . nick : what do you mean , devon lost ? hilary : just what i said . he did n't win the bid for the park . nick : then who did ? kevin : it 's starting to unravel . what ? no . no , i ca n't stop it . it wo n't be long before the truth comes out and victor discovers what you did . j.t . : paul and christine and the feds they 're working with , all they want is the truth . somebody 's trying to hide something , and i 'm gon na figure out who it is and why . nikki : mm ! victoria : so good to see you . [ chuckles ] there 's a little more to that hug than a simple `` i 'm so glad we 're having coffee together . `` nikki : well , since you and i were on opposite sides during that chancellor park issue , i guess i was n't sure if you wanted to even see me . victoria : that 's never gon na happen . anyway , it 's a non - issue since newman was outbid . nikki : your father must be furious . victoria : dad never enjoys losing , ever . nikki : are you sure it was n't devon who bought the land ? victoria : yeah , he would have said so . i mean , whoever put in the winning bid is keeping it a secret from everyone . nick : how about this ? i pay for your coffee , and you tell me you 're the one who bought the park . devon : it 's tempting , but i 'd be lying to you if i said it was me . nick : coffee and a doughnut , final offer . devon : look , i want to know who it is , too . the good news is , victor wo n't be the one tearing down katherine 's park to put up some condos . nick : bad news is , whoever did score the land is probably gon na do that anyway . sharon : breakfast is ready ! pancakes . scott : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm already late . i overslept . bad time for my alarm not to go off . sharon : i turned it off . scott : what ? sharon : your alarm . i turned it off . you 've been avoiding me by waking up early and sneaking out of the house . i 'm not gon na let you do that today . nikki : you 're distracted , and it 's not about just losing some land . as rare as it happens , newman has been outbid before , you know . victoria : it would have been a big win for the company . nikki : honey , if you are preoccupied about something having to do with business , you would be talking a mile a minute and not stirring your coffee and staring off into space . so whatever 's on your mind , it 's hitting closer to home . victoria : you know that audit that dad 's been dealing with because of the designdate debacle ? nikki : yeah . victoria : well , the company 's books checked out just fine , no red flags . nikki : oh ! well , then , what 's wrong ? victoria : the problem was found in one of his personal accounts , and you 're never gon na guess who they brought in to investigate . j.t . scott : oh , man , i really am late , but if you want to tie me upstairs in the bedroom so i ca n't leave , there 's no arguments here . sharon : you ca n't just keep dodging this conversation , scott . it 's important . scott : look , i 'm not dodging anything , and i certainly have n't been avoiding you . sharon : the other night , i told you i love you . scott : and i said it right back . there 's nothing to avoid . it 's all right there . mariah : oh , my gosh , do i smell pancakes ? score ! all right , i call dibs on the maple syrup , all of the maple syrup . faith : who drank my juice ? scott : uh , that was me . sorry , my bad . i 'll get you some more . faith : never mind . sharon : i 'll get the juice and more pancakes . mariah : hey . you 're just gon na stand there ? you got pancakes to eat . scott : oh , well , save me some syrup , will you ? provided by ... nikki : i assume this was christine 's idea , bringing j.t . in , not some complete stranger , someone who has no attachment to newman at all . victoria : paul made the suggestion because as j.t . said , he `` knows where all the bodies are buried . `` nikki : look , j.t . worked at newman a lifetime ago , and the two of you have been divorced for years . he has nothing to bring to this investigation , and if he claims that he does , he 's bluffing . victoria : is he ? mom , he was head of newman 's security , which means he had access to personal and professional information . nikki : [ sighs ] you worry too much . victoria : obviously paul and christine are making this their number - one priority . nikki : this whole thing is ridiculous . it 's irrational . you and i both know that victor would never have anything to do with the sex trafficking ring , for heaven 's sake . victoria : but dad provided the infrastructure via newman enterprises . nikki : but that does n't mean that he knew what was going on . victoria : but even unknowingly , newman funded criminal activity , and the authorities are determined to make someone at the company pay . chelsea : you were such a champ , fighting for the park . nick : fight 's not over yet . chelsea : but the city accepted a bid . nick : it 's not a done deal , though , and there 's no guarantee that the company who won the bid is going to be able to build on the land . chelsea : and the plan is still condos ? nick : we do n't know who bought it , but you can bet they 're gon na want to turn a buck and destroy the skyline . we may have lost the battle , but it does n't mean we give up the war . chelsea : how do you fight the sale ? nick : well , you are currently dating a social media warrior . chelsea : oh ? am i ? nick : yeah . i scheduled a rally later today , you know , a protest , even before i knew about this deal . just because victor lost out -- this was never about him . this is about katherine and our city , so we 're gon na get together , get a bunch of signs and banners , and make a bunch of noise , and hopefully get some press out of it . chelsea : signs and banners . nick : yep . as many as we can muster up . chelsea : how do you plan to get those ? nick : well , my super - hot girlfriend is an amazing designer , so ... chelsea : i do appreciate the flattery , except this particular time -- nick : it 's not gon na get me anywhere , is it ? chelsea : normally , i would love to help , but i 'm in the middle of providing three holiday custom gowns for , like , the grande dames of genoa city , and .. nick : it 's okay . i get it . work comes first . but if you can get away , you know , you 've got a set of lungs on you . we could really use you at the park , you know , to yell . chelsea : set of lungs ? what do you mean ? i do n't yell . i barely yell . that 's not true . nick : i do n't know about that . come to the rally , please . chelsea : i will try . i promise . and if i ca n't be there , i will be cheering you on in spirit . hilary : and those are all the big story ideas for next week . jack : hmm . hilary : i think that we can both agree that they 're strong , empowering , and they maintain that buzz - worthy feel that my audience looks forward to every day . jack : it is very important to me and to the company that this show be on - brand for jabot . i want these segments to have meaning in people 's lives , to be more than just mindless entertainment . hilary : and i think that that 's exactly what i just presented to you . positive , in some cases , even inspiring stories . if you do n't agree , jack , then i do n't really know -- jack : no , i actually do agree . i think this is a giant improvement on the show . and you clearly have a knack for these upbeat stories , and to be honest , i was n't sure you 'd be able to deliver , and you have . you know , this is not the old `` the hilary hour , `` and this , you have convinced me is a different hilary than the one who used to go to such lengths to get the latest snark and gossip . hilary : oh , it is still me , jack . always me , just a different side . jack : it 's a lovely side , and you should be very proud of what you 're doing . i know i am . mariah : wow . you 're really committed to that clean - up job . i respect that . i also will let you do this every day , if you want . scott : yeah , no , i 'm -- i 'm good with sharing the job . mariah : [ laughs ] scott : so , uh , what 's on the schedule for today , faith ? any big plans for your winter break ? mariah : well , i for one have a very rare day off , so i am going to binge - watch tv . just nothing with a host , co - host , or interviews of any kind . sharon : well , it 's a beautiful day , and it 's not too cold . why do n't you take faith ice skating ? [ doorbell rings ] mariah : huh , cold outside versus warm inside . that 's gon na be a tough call . sharon : oh ! hi , nick . nick : hey . sorry to just bust in . i got a busy day . i need all hands on deck . sharon : oh , that 's right . i 'm sorry , i forgot . the rally . nick : well , it 's lucky i didn't . i mean , i have a park full of people , ready to go . mariah : great . i guess i 'm going outside after all . nick : uh - huh . faith : daddy ! nick : hey . how are you ? faith : good . nick : guess what i have -- hand warmers just in case your hands get cold at the rally . you are coming , right ? faith : mm - hmm . mariah : i 'm sorry , no hand warmers for moi ? nick : i 'll make you a deal . i 'm gon na hook you both up with hand warmers if you help me make a banner , and i 'm talking a huge one , like major visual impact . mariah : i 'm sorry , does your father not understand who he 's talking to ? because we are the dream team of visual impact . faith : we have paint in the garage . mariah : what are you thinking , cardboard or a sheet ? nick : i 'm gon na leave this decision in your very capable hands , but let 's get going . mariah : ready to get messy , kiddo ? faith : always . mariah : teamwork makes the dream work . nick : [ laughs ] all right , you , uh , want in on this sign thing ? sharon : you know what , scott and i , we need to talk . scott : you know , you were right the other day . the fight is really important for the community , and i think you and i can catch some alone time later . nick : all right , just forget i asked . i got the dream team on it . i do n't want to mess up their creative mojo by bringing their mom in , so you guys , uh , you know , spend some private time . you 're good . nikki : i know it 's unnerving to have your ex - husband investigate your family 's company , but at the same time , it must be nice for reed to see his father , especially so close to christmas . victoria : well , in theory , it 's wonderful , but reed has been avoiding j.t . nikki : i thought they were getting along better . victoria : maybe because they were on separate continents . billy : hey . hi . nikki : hi . billy : hope i 'm not interrupting . nikki : oh , no . victoria : no , i was just telling mom that j.t . is back in town . billy : yeah , that he is . victoria : [ sighs ] well , billy stopped by the house last night , and he was there . nikki : oh . how was your reunion ? billy : oh , i 'd like to say warm and fuzzy . nikki : but ... billy : too much history . i mean , we 're talking about a guy who did everything he could to get custody of reed and then tried to take him out of the country . i feel like i can hold a grudge when it 's for the right reason , and this is one of those times . plus , what he did to vick -- victoria : that he said i was a terrible mother ? it 's not about me . it 's about reed . and he 's living with me now , by choice . that 's all that matters . nikki : i hate the idea of j.t . causing more pain for you and your family . billy : well , hope it 's a quick in - and - out trip , you know ? plus , i think i 'll take reed 's example and stay away from j.t . as much as possible . hilary : will all of our meetings be like this , you handing me compliments and coffee ? because i could used to this . jack : as long as you 're doing great work , and i 'm sure you will be . hilary : did you see how i stayed away from the snark and the gossip during cane 's interview ? i had no mention of lily or his family drama , and trust me , there is plenty of it . jack : i 'm glad you brought that up . yes , kudos on the restraint , but i would rather you run an interview like that by me first . hilary : why would i do that ? jack : because i am your primary sponsor , and as such , i am your producer . with veto power . and i would veto a show about the competition . hilary : since when is jabot competing with chancellor ? they do n't even have a cosmetics division . jack : chancellor is a major player in town , and in the world of `` the hilary hour , `` there is only one company upon which we are heaping praise . hilary : oh , and this does n't sound like jealousy at all . jack : it 's how the game is played . any company that is not jabot is a rival . hilary : and cane got that winning hand with that splashy business story . jack : he gets one every lifetime . hilary : i think i like this jack abbott . it reminds me of myself . you hate not being number one . and considering that victor and cane are ahead of you at this point ... jack : at this point . trust me , i 'm going to be changing that very soon . faith : [ shivers ] no hand warmer yet ? nick : no , no . you 're gon na have to earn that . so the hot chocolate 's gon na have to do the trick . mariah : all right . thank you so much . yeah . i 'll see you there . all right , so that was the camera operator . he 's good to go and he 's gon na meet us in the park . nick : do you really think hilary will air it ? mariah : oh , yeah . hilary 's all about the feel - good empowerment , grassroots campaign right now . and , plus , she 's not gon na pay for any footage that she does n't air . faith : i am gon na get back to work . nick : all right , hot chocolate will be ready in a couple minutes . faith : got it ! mariah : you know , i can stay inside here , the warm house , while you go back out there and get paint all over you . nick : ah . nice try . mariah : mm , it was worth a try . nick : why do n't you , uh , you know , tell me how things are going around here , you know , with scott moving in . mariah : besides the compromising moments i 've accidentally walked in on ? nick : whoa ! no ! do n't want to hear about that . mariah : be glad you 're just hearing about it . nick : i 'm talking about more , like , family - friendly information , you know ? like how faith is handling it . mariah : well , uh , she seemed fine , but the last few days , she has n't been that chatty with scott . nick : that 's my girl . i 'm just saying , you know , scott is n't nearly as charming as he thinks he is , and if faith is having a problem with it ... mariah : whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa . i -- i did n't say that there was a problem . nick : i 'll just talk to sharon about it . mariah : whoa , whoa , whoa . all i said is that faith is n't being that chatty . nick : well , that is a problem because faith talks -- a lot . you know that . mariah : and i know that you want to jump all over this because scott bugs you . nick : also , faith is my kid , so ... mariah : look , why do n't you just let me do the big - sister thing here . i 'll keep an eye on the situation , handle sharon . it 's probably nothing . scott : yeah , whatever works for your schedule . great . yeah , i got your book and that e - mail you sent with the articles . yeah , i 'll give them a read , and then we 'll touch base . cool , sounds good . sharon : can that call wait ? i know the last five could n't , but i really need to talk to you . scott : you know , i might be out of the office , but it does n't mean i do n't have work to do . sharon : i 'm just asking for some of your time , scott . this is important . scott : [ sighs ] sharon : so , i scared you when i told you that i loved you . scott : that 's not true . i -- i just might have needed a second to catch up , but i did . sharon : you recited the words back to me , and , scott , you hesitated . and you did n't really sound all that convincing . so just be honest . did you feel obligated and forced to tell me what you thought i wanted to hear ? and is that why you 've been avoiding me ? to mariah . nick : uh , you 're not gon na skip out on me that fast . [ imitates tires squealing ] sit down . i want to talk to you . faith : okay . nick : [ sighs ] what 's , uh ... what 's been going on around here with scott ? how 's that going ? faith : well , you know ... nick : `` well , you know ... `` that 's not exactly a ringing endorsement . i know your mom would n't move anyone in here that you did n't like . faith : i did like him . nick : but you do n't anymore ? did something happen ? what changed ? faith : mom is happy . she wants scott here . nick : but , faith , if you don't ... faith : i 'm fine . nick : is this kind of like when i moved in with chelsea ? that took some time to get used to . look , i know it 's not easy to let new people into your life , to make room for them , but maybe if you give scott a chance , you 'll realize that you do like him . hilary : how 's your mom ? jack : at the moment , she is developing a sweet tooth . after we 're done here , i am tasked with going to crimson lights . hilary : well , she sounds determined . jack : well , i guess that comes with watching hours of the stock market . be warned -- before we leave , she may be giving us investment advice . hilary : for you , maybe . i 'm sure i 'm still on her hit list . at the risk of going on yours , too ... jack : i do n't think i like the sound of that . hilary : my interview with cane yesterday ... it was interesting to me personally . it was a redemption story , okay ? cane , he screwed up in a big way , and i know because i plastered it all over my show , more than once , but look at him now . he is running chancellor , he is raising a baby that has medical needs . he did n't fall apart . he did n't play the victim . he pulled it off , and i did n't believe in him . jack : cane 's a smart man . under different circumstances , i would have hired him at jabot . he did make a big mistake , but you know what , underneath , i think he 's a good guy , and i 'm sure he 's going to give this new little baby boy all the love and attention he offered to mattie and charlie . hilary : did i tell you that i went to the hospital to see the baby ? jack : no . hilary : come here . now , come on . tell me -- tell me that this is not the cutest baby ever . jack : that he is . you look very comfortable holding a baby in your arms . hilary : me ? oh , god , no . my life is way too busy . the last thing that i need is a child . no . no , thank you very much . victoria : thank you very much for hanging out with the kids later . billy : absolutely . you 're a busy woman . before you go , though , i have to ask you -- does n't it kind of drive you nuts that the only reason j.t . is here is to investigate his former boss and his ex - father - in - law ? victoria : i do n't love it . it 's invasive . but i guess i 'd feel that way about anyone picking through the newman accounts . and , besides , j.t . says that he wo n't let his personal issues color any of his findings . billy : oh ! so noble of him . victoria : look , billy , i ca n't go there , okay ? i ca n't get all angry and defensive . if anything , maybe i can help j.t . and reed try to fix things between each other . billy : i think that 's a little easier said than done , vick . victoria : you know reed is harboring a lot of anger and resentment towards his father . i thought that maybe i could just help them try to meet in the middle . billy : or maybe j.t . will stand up and be a decent parent this time ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy : okay , hold on . i 'll shut up , all right ? you know what , you ca n't take this upon yourself , all right ? it 's the holidays . you got to have some fun , you got to do all those great things you do , like burn cookies with the kids . victoria : that 's not funny . billy : okay , i 'll come over and burn cookies with the kids . how 's that ? victoria : you 're welcome anytime . billy : okay . victoria : bring phyllis . billy : really ? victoria : yeah . billy : you know , if you 're not comfortable with that , she would totally understand . victoria : she 's a part of your life now , which means she 's a part of the kids ' lives . that 's just how it goes now . and i think that things will go a lot smoother between us now that you and i are n't working together . billy : well , yeah , because you fired me . victoria : you do n't seem very miserable . billy : no , i 'm actually not at all . i enjoy not working . it 's actually fantastic . how 's your career change , by the way ? victoria : i have to admit , it 's kind of a relief . i go to work , i care a lot . it 's difficult sometimes , but at least i do n't feel the pressure of running my own company . who knows ? maybe one day i 'll be my own boss again , but for now , i 'm fine . i mean it . bring phyllis . we 'll celebrate . it 's gon na be a great holiday . billy : look at us , huh ? friends again . i like it . victoria : i do , too . nick : hey , all right ! more park supporters ! awesome ! mariah : the camera operator is just getting a coffee , but he 's gon na be ready to roll when the time comes . nick : okay , i 'm gon na go find someplace to hang this banner . if more people show up , just fill them in , let them know what the plan is . mariah : okay , captain . faith : [ sighs ] mariah : hey . we 're alone . he 's gone . you can talk to me . faith : about what ? mariah : about whatever is going on between you and scott . i know you 're avoiding him . come on , if you 're upset , you can talk to me . tell me why . cone of silence . sister swear ? faith : i 'm not a little kid anymore . please do n't treat me like one . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hilary : [ sighs ] that was mariah at chancellor park . it turns out that nick newman is quite the local activist . jack : oh ? hilary : yeah , apparently , he 's staging a rally to oppose any future development on that land . jack : well , good for him . i will be there in spirit , if not in person . hilary : yes , you have enough on your plate with your mother and jabot and micromanaging my show . jack : what can i say ? i 'm a overachiever . and , by the way , this helps a lot , your meeting with me here . i appreciate it . hilary : well , you keep underwriting my show , and i will keep showing up . jack : oh , good . that 's good to know . hilary : jack ... you 're a really good friend , and you were the first person who gave me a break when i blew up my life . so if there 's anything that i could do to make your life easier ... jack : what 's going on ? you getting soft on me ? all this kind talk and baby pictures ... hilary : okay , you better watch it , all right ? friendship does not go that far . you 're a good man , jack . taking care of your mother . i 'm sure it 's not easy on dina . she 's feeling like a burden . i 'm sure it 's agony , a strong independent woman like that . especially when she 's so stubborn . jack : i suddenly realize how much you and she have in common . hilary : well , i do n't have any family , so i do n't have to worry about one day feeling like a burden . jack : speaking of that , what are you doing for christmas ? hilary : have we not met ? i 'm a little busy creating a media empire , so i will be working straight through . jack : so , no time off , huh ? hilary : no , i think i 'm just gon na let the other people deck the halls . `` the hilary hour `` does not believe in hiatuses . jack : that 's a shame . i was gon na invite you to have christmas with us , but , you know , you 're busy ... hilary : well , coming to my sponsor 's house , that would qualify as building my empire . jack : oh , building business relationships is terribly important . critical . hilary : yeah , and if that means coming and celebrating with you and your family , well , then , i guess ... i guess i accept . thank you , jack . jack : i look forward to it . now that we 're done here , i must address a sweet tooth that will not be ignored . hilary : [ chuckles ] sharon : obviously this was a mistake , and you 're not going to make time to talk today . scott : hey . hey , hey , hey . phone -- phone is going in my pocket . i 'm sorry . i do want to talk . we need to . sharon : but it 's like torture for you , and that worries me even more . maybe i 'm wrong . maybe we should just forget what i said and forget how you reacted . i ... do n't know where that leaves us . i mean , you live with me now , and my two daughters . scott : you 're right , i 'm avoiding , and we have to do this . both of us need to be honest about everything . you deserve that . i mean , what kind of guy am i if i ca n't give that to you ? sharon : so are you ready to do this , then ? to have this conversation ? scott : i am . sharon : knowing that whatever happens as a result ... happens ? scott : yeah , we just -- we ca n't do it here . too many distractions . come on . jack : nikki ? nikki : well , mr . abbott . how very nice to see you . where 's dina ? jack : she 's with mrs . martinez right now . she had a pastry craving and insisted they come from crimson lights . nikki : well , that 's a good sign , is n't it ? jack : some things she has a pretty firm grip on . other things ... she mistook a colleague of mine for traci in a video conference earlier . nikki : i 'm sorry . you 're a good son . you 're a brave man . jack : yeah , you say those words , and it sounds like pity . my mother 's the one who 's going through hell . i 'm just watching her do it . nikki : i say it completely out of admiration , jack . how many people can take on the world like you can ? jack : you know what , enough about me . let 's talk about something a lot more interesting . nikki : such as ? jack : i do n't know , you . nikki : trust me , there is absolutely nothing exciting about my life right now . jack : you seemed kind of lost in thought when i walked in . what 's on your mind ? nikki : well , there 's no fooling you , is there ? i have a difficult decision . earl grey and chamomile . jack : hey . hey . please , do n't lie to me . chelsea : hey . nick : hey . d ? did nobody show up ? nick : uh , just me , the girls , and a couple hundred genoa city loyalists . chelsea : [ gasps ] really ? nick : yeah , it was awesome . it 's gon na all be on the `` the hilary hour `` later , so you can check out the footage . we had some cheers , some chants , a bunch of signs , and one incredible banner . chelsea : that 's wonderful . nick : i did have to hand out a lot of hand warmers , though . chelsea : well , it 's a worthwhile investment . nick : you did n't think i could pull this off , did you ? chelsea : i did . nick : but you did n't stop worrying ever since i started in on it . chelsea : okay , that is not true . maybe i was , like , a little worried , at first . because victor was involved . nick : look , i 'm not worried about my dad . you should n't be , either . chelsea : you know what , i feel so bad now . i should have blown off my deadline to be there for you . nick : you 're gon na make the next one . chelsea : my david , going into battle with the anonymous goliath . nick : you 're picturing me like that statue -- naked , i mean . chelsea : [ giggles ] you did something really good today . something really worthwhile . and everybody , they showed up because of you , because you care , and you gave them something to care about . nick : well , we just have to keep at it until we know the park is safe from development . chelsea : oh , it 's gon na be safe 'cause there 's no stopping you . i 'm really proud . nick : it 'd probably be a good time to show me how proud you are . jack : i would hate to think i ruined our friendship when i said we should n't be together romantically . nikki : no , jack , we 're friends . we 'll always be friends . jack : okay , so talk to me . nikki : i did something rather impulsively , and now looking back on it , i think it was a mistake . jack : how bad ? nikki : it could ruin everything for me . i had my reasons , though . jack : and what were they ? nikki : oh , i was trying to beat victor at his own game , and ... now i think it 's backfiring on me . jack : funny , that 's how some of my favorite mistakes started . listen , maybe i can help you . nikki : no , i ca n't tell you , for your own good . jack : okay , i hope you are talking to someone you can trust . nikki : bringing other people into this mess , it just ... jack : nikki , you need to get out ahead of this thing . you let it unravel without you , you have no control , and then it 's just you against the inevitable . nikki : you tell me the last time you did that . jack : so do what i know you can do in this situation -- be smarter than me . mariah : what are you ordering ? faith . if you do n't want to be treated like a kid , do n't act like one . thank you . it 's just the two of us here , and i really need you to tell me what 's going on . this is about scott , obviously , and if you 're upset or ticked off , then i 'm the person to tell . i 'm not your mom . you 're not gon na upset me with whatever you have to say , and i 'm not your dad , either . so it 's not like you have to choose a side . i have one side , and that 's yours . so talk to me . faith : it 's nothing . it took me a while to get used to living with chelsea , too . mariah : so that 's what you 're saying this is ?

scott : yeah . sharon : oh , my god . scott : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i do n't have a ton of experience with long - term committed relationships , and that was by choice . i had my job , i had travel , and the risk ... when i did let myself fall in love , it just -- sharon : it ended badly , i know . scott : so i 've just avoided relationships in general . sharon : i asked you to move in here , and you said yes . so here we are . now , you can say that you were moved or you were touched and you were overwhelmed when i finally said the words , but this is where we are now . so i do n't know why you moved in here if ... if the words `` i love you `` would send you into a tailspin . did n't you know that you were just setting me up to be hurt ?

faith : abby . mariah : were they fighting again ? i mean , they do that a lot . maybe it was about newman , something to do with grandpa or aunt victoria ... faith : i could n't hear what they were saying . but they started to leave . then scott came back ... and he kissed abby . like , really kissed her . scott : i hate this . i 'm not saying it right . when you said you loved me , it hit me . it made me realize that i have to make a decision about ... what i really want out of life . sharon : you know what that is now ? scott : i want you , sharon . i want this . i want all of this . you 're different than anyone i 've ever known . maybe that 's because you 've been through so much . you do n't waste time , you do n't play games . you know exactly what you want , agenda - free . do you have any idea how rare that is ? people flounder . they try and they fail and they give up and they move on . you opened up your heart to me in a way that no one ever has . or ever will . it makes me want to do the same . i love you , sharon . fully . truly . forever . nikki : victoria . can we talk in private ?

nikki : i stole from your father . i took funds from his personal account and moved them to an offshore bank . victoria : mom ... no . why ? nikki : if j.t . finds out ... victoria : he 's not gon na back down from this . nikki : i know ! that 's why if i ever discovers what i did , i -- victoria : you could go to prison .Summarize.[/INST]nikki and victoria got together and talked about jt 's return and investigation . billy informed victoria and nikki that he was still angry with jt for taking reed from victoria all those years ago . victoria hoped to help reed reconcile with jt . billy urged victoria to have some fun . victoria told billy that he could bring phyllis with him when he came to visit the kids . nick and devon discussed the purchase of chancellor park by a mystery buyer . sharon felt like scott had been avoiding her since she said she loved him , and she insisted that they talk . scott kept putting the conversation off , but eventually , he told her that her declaration made him think about what he wanted in life , and he wanted her . hilary met with jack to discuss the direction of her show . he was proud of hilary for embracing the more positive and upbeat angle that he 'd insisted on . jack was n't thrilled that hilary interviewed cane , which gave free press to chancellor , a rival . jack vowed to best victor and cane , and hilary was pleased to see jack 's competitive side reemerging . she showed jack pictures of sam and talked about holding him . hilary accepted jack 's invitation to christmas dinner . devon later invited hilary to spend the holiday with him , but she told him she had plans .</s> | 18,779 |

[ scene_break ] sam : after you were born , the nurse took you out of the room to clean you up , and heather was left alone with your mother , which was n't unusual , because heather was your mother 's labor coach , but -- well , your mom -- she -- she -- she suddenly started crying out in pain , and then she lost consciousness . so heather yelled for help , and the nurse came back in . jason : not the doctor ? sam : no . it was just heather and the nurse in the room with your mother . and heather was holding the baby , which was you , and the nurse started examining your mother . your mother was still in labor . jason : i do n't -- i do n't understand . sam : jason , she was having another baby . jason : are you -- are you telling me that i had a twin ? sam : a twin brother .

[ scene_break ] johnny : wow . there was a time you would have taken it on faith that i had nothing to do with this accident . what changed ? carly : i guess i need to be reassured . johnny : of what ? carly : that you 're the man that i spent that night with , not the man who was obsessed with revenge back at the courthouse . johnny : [ scoffs ] do you think that i would have spent the night with you and then lied to you about it every day after that ? that -- that if i caused that accident and sent that car over the cliff , that i 'd ask you to be my alibi ? not to mention you 're the mother of three kids . do you think i would drag you into a death of a child ? do you think that i am such a coward that if i set all these events in motion , that i would lie about it and cover it up ? carly : i guess you could n't . johnny : you sure about that ? carly : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i never should have doubted you .

[ scene_break ] sam : after you were born , the nurse took you out of the room to clean you up , and heather was left alone with your mother , which was n't unusual , because heather was your mother 's labor coach , but -- well , your mom -- she -- she -- she suddenly started crying out in pain , and then she lost consciousness . so heather yelled for help , and the nurse came back in . jason : not the doctor ? sam : no . it was just heather and the nurse in the room with your mother . and heather was holding the baby , which was you , and the nurse started examining your mother . your mother was still in labor . jason : i do n't -- i do n't understand . sam : jason , she was having another baby . jason : are you -- are you telling me that i had a twin ? sam : a twin brother .

[ scene_break ] johnny : wow . there was a time you would have taken it on faith that i had nothing to do with this accident . what changed ? carly : i guess i need to be reassured . johnny : of what ? carly : that you 're the man that i spent that night with , not the man who was obsessed with revenge back at the courthouse . johnny : [ scoffs ] do you think that i would have spent the night with you and then lied to you about it every day after that ? that -- that if i caused that accident and sent that car over the cliff , that i 'd ask you to be my alibi ? not to mention you 're the mother of three kids . do you think i would drag you into a death of a child ? do you think that i am such a coward that if i set all these events in motion , that i would lie about it and cover it up ? carly : i guess you could n't . johnny : you sure about that ? carly : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i never should have doubted you . [ scene_break ] michael : the night of the accident , there was a benefit for the hospital . johnny showed up drunk . my dad was there , too , and my dad said things to humiliate him , and it was bad . okay , and trust me when i tell you my -- johnny had every motive to set up my father . starr : then why would n't he plant the gun in sonny 's office or at his house ? why would he choose his girlfriend 's office ? michael : for every reason that they said in the trial . kate 's office was accessible through a common elevator . with all the guests and -- and the staff , it would have been easy to sneak somebody in and plant a gun . starr : what about the eyewitness ? michael : you know that anthony was lying -- starr : no , i do n't know that . michael : if he could n't see across the courtroom , how is he gon na see my dad in her rearview mirror with a light shining in his eyes ? starr : maybe you should be a lawyer , right ? then your dad would n't have to pay alexis to defend him . you could do it . michael : look , what if my father is innocent and the real killer -- probably johnny -- is out there right now ? do n't you at least owe it to cole and hope to consider the possibility ?

[ both laugh ] travis : look , we both agree . we just want everyone to be happy . victoria : somehow , i think that jill 's version of `` happy `` is different from ours . that 's why there 's this bogus business trip . i mean , it 's no wonder that billy bailed . travis : i got to say , i do n't think that 's why he did . yeah , i felt like he just -- i do n't know -- wanted to be somewhere else . billy : what do you care where i 'm going if it 's not seattle ? so go , cane . go with victoria . kick some ass . take all the credit you want . cane : and what do i tell jill ? 'cause she was explicitly clear . she wants you going and not me . billy : jill wants me and victoria on top of a wedding cake . that 's all this is about . cane : exactly , so what do you think she 's gon na say when i go instead of you ? billy : i do n't know . she 's gon na freak out , she 's gon na shriek . she 's probably gon na throw something . it 's probably gon na be at you . so just do n't tell her you 're going . cane : billy . i have to tell her . she 's gon na find out . what are you talking about ? billy : do n't tell her till you get back , okay ? my mother and your father are too busy inspecting every room in this place to notice what 's going on . so , what do you say ? do we have a deal ? come on . cane : you know what ? no . no , no , no . you 're up to something . even if you 're not admitting it . no . we do n't have a deal . nick : a few hours ago , chelsea was convinced dad blew up that cabin with adam in it . sharon : the last thing she needs is a face - to - face with that man . nikki : look , she spoke to victor . she knows that he had nothing to do with it . nick : yeah , but adam was in the cabin in the first place because dad framed him . i do n't think chelsea 's forgotten that . nikki : well , that means that they do indeed have quite a bit to talk about , nicholas . your father 's very remorseful . all he wants to do is the right thing . nick : sharon , could you give us a second ? sharon : yeah , of course . nick : thank you . you do know that dad stripped adam of his life and convinced himself it was okay ? so why defend him ? why keep any of his secrets , mom ? why do any of that ? victor : you 're gon na take care of your mom , are n't you ? i know you are . i know you are . chelsea : connor needs to finish getting ready . chloe : okay , i will take him upstairs . victor : [ chuckles ] yes . i love you , my boy . connor : a kitty . victor : yes , i know . chloe : come on , buddy . let 's go upstairs . victor : there you go . chloe : take kitty . oh ! victor : oh ! chloe : oh ! what ? victor : how are you doing ? chelsea : my husband is dead . victor : you do n't think that i -- chelsea : what , had anything to do with the explosion ? no . but you started all this . you had to show adam your power , show him the consequences of crossing you , and now my son is growing up without his father . victor : but i 'm here for your son . i want to do what 's best for him . chelsea : what is best for him is none of your business . victor : i 'm his grandfather . michael : [ sighs ] all he wanted was justice and a life with his family . sharon : adam was a complicated soul . michael : he was that . sharon : where 's lauren ? michael : uh , she 's out of town -- work . she could n't make it back in time . sharon : well , i 'm afraid you 're here pretty early . services wo n't get started for a while . michael : yeah , well , part of me thought early would be good . slip in , say my goodbyes , leave before everybody arrives . sharon : why ? michael : i might have an inappropriate amount of anger about how all this went down . and then there 's the blame factor . sharon : victor . michael : top of the list . but i 'm on it , too . sharon : you did everything you could to help adam . michael : i should have worked harder , dug deeper . [ sighs ] just -- i ca n't help but think that there was something i could have done , something that would have stopped the insanity before it got to this . nikki : nicholas , your father has changed . remember when he was shot protecting me in the courthouse ? nick : yeah . when ian took you hostage . nikki : and what did he do ? did he just say , `` oh , well , i 'll let somebody else save nikki ? `` no , he did n't . he got out of his hospital bed , he looked down the barrel of ian 's guy , and he saved phyllis and me . even though he was very upset that we testified against him , there was a lot of love there . nick : look , i 'll always be grateful , what he did for you and phyllis , but while he was doing that , he was manipulating adam 's life . it 's the same old dad . nikki : well , he was so consumed with anger with adam all those years , he did n't realize that he had gone so far , and when he did , he just wanted to give adam the life he deserved . nick : it was too late , was n't it ? nikki : yes , it was , and he is devastated . i have seen his agony . he is sobbing in my arms , nicholas . he has n't slept . i mean , this thing has brought him to his knees . he 's not just grieving . he is searching . nick : for what ? nikki : redemption . [ sighs ] nothing brought adam more joy than you and connor . i mean , i just saw him light up whenever he talked about you . and i wanted very much for him to live in that light . away from that terrible prison , away from me , away from our poisonous relationship . you know , i was not responsible for that explosion . but it was my fault . i made a promise to adam -- a promise a father makes to his son . for you , and that is very hard for me . with connor somewhere else , i will support that . i will not stand in your way . that 's all i came to say . and one more thing -- i 'm very sorry . i 'm deeply sorry . so harsh with you . it seems like when it comes to victor , she just ca n't control herself . abby : i probably overreacted . ashley : no , you did n't . not at all . abby : it 's just -- it 's seeing dad that devastated . he just lost his son , and she could n't show him any compassion ? i mean , does she just block it out ? [ sighs ] ashley : honey , are you talking about your miscarriage now ? abby : it brought me there . all over again . the way that stitch could n't deal with it . he just shut me out . he shut down . ashley : well , i do n't think anybody has ever accused phyllis of shutting down . abby : but seeing her that angry , it made me think that could be me . i could have let all of the anger and the hurt consume me . and i know what happened to phyllis because of dad is beyond horrible , but maybe if she could just let go of some of that pain , she 'd start to heal . gon na tell me that we should forget what victor did to us , that we should go to the memorial and just forget that he blew our lives to hell ? jack : do i want you by my side when i say goodbye to adam ? yes . would i ever insist that you go ? no . not after what victor put you through . phyllis : put me -- how about put us through ? i do n't know how you do it , because you nearly died . kelly did die . our marriage was brutalized . we ca n't even talk about what happened , and yet , you seem to want to put this in a neat box and you want to label it `` the past `` and you think we should just move on . jack : i would never minimize the devastation that victor brought to our lives . phyllis : no , but you want me to play nice . you want me to rise above and you want me to be the bigger person , but i do n't want to be the bigger person . i want him to feel the pain we felt . i want him to get hurt the way we got hurt . but for some reason , i am the wrong one because you think that victor deserves a pass , a free pass ! jack : i never said those words . phyllis : okay , you know what ? you 're gon na comfort him today . that 's what you 're gon na do . jack : no , i am going to pay my respects to adam ! not victor ! phyllis : victor is gon na make it all about victor . jack : chelsea woke up a widow ! connor woke up fatherless ! nicholas , victoria , abby all lost one of their own . and yes , a father lost his son . so , yes , i 'm going to this memorial service , and i will go to victor , father to father , and i will acknowledge his loss . phyllis : then i guess that makes you a better person than me . billy : i 'm on the level , cane . cane : or the suitcase is empty , and you want me to go so you can pull a power play , and when i come back , i get my butt handed to me . billy : [ laughs ] you know , that sound like music to my ears . i 'm going away for some `` me `` time . look and see . satisfied ? now , if you want , stay home and worry about what i 'm doing behind your back , or you can go to seattle and make brash & sassy ! the biggest thing that ever hit the pacific northwest . you can get rid of me at the same time . cane : if you 're lying to me , billy , i 'll make you regret this , okay ? billy : the only person i 'm lying to is my mother , and now you 're lying to her , too . and this is making me feel all weird and brotherly and stuff . come on . what do you say ? come on . all right . cane : i say , `` hello , seattle . `` that 's what i say . billy : okay . have fun . cane : do n't make me regret it . phyllis : i am sorry that adam is gone . i feel like he was finding his way , you know ? my heart goes out to chelsea , to connor , to everybody who has ever loved him and who has now lost him . and to you , the man who was more of a father to him than victor ever could be . but why i am angry is because you want me to share that loss with that hypocrite . jack : adam died . adam died . today is for adam and chelsea and connor , and they deserve our prayers and our love and our support . all the help they can get ! and if to do that , i have to stand in the same room as victor and acknowledge his pain , that 's what i 'm gon na do . phyllis : because you 're fundamentally decent , and i am not . jack : no . you are a passionate woman who is deeply loyal , fiercely protective of her family . and i could n't ask for a more decent woman to share my life with . phyllis : i love you for saying that . but that 's not how i feel . cane : hey , i 'm leaving for the office right now . well , of course i 'd rather be in seattle shepherding my project , okay , but you 're the boss . you remember that , right ? yeah , well , i just hope that billy and victoria knock it out of the park and everybody wins . okay . all right , bye . sharon : you 're crazy if you feel guilty for what happened to adam . you put your heart and soul into that case . you fought for his freedom when there was really no hope left , and you never stopped . michael : and now i 'm at his memorial service . sharon : well , not because of anything you did . everyone knows you did your best for adam . michael : not everyone . nikki : did you see connor ? how 's chelsea doing ? victor : she 's strong . she will get connor through this . nick : we 're gon na help each other . we 're newmans . if we stay together , we 're gon na be just fine . chloe : here . drink this . it 'll help . actually , i do n't even know why people say that . um , well , connor is upstairs and he 's all ready to go . he thought that his coat and his tie needed a little pizzazz , so he picked out his cool sneakers that his daddy bought him . then we took a selfie and we sent it to my mom and bella . chelsea : thank you for helping us . chloe : connor 's being so brave . so are you . chelsea : no , this is n't brave . this is putting one foot in front of the other . for connor . 'cause i 'll tell you what , if it was just me , i would ... chloe : i hope victor did n't upset you too much . after everything that he 's done to you and adam , it 's understandable why you would n't want him around . chelsea : no , actually , victor was -- i was ready to throw him out , but he was different . when he started talking about adam , it was almost as if -- if he could make this better for me , if he could give me some peace , some form of closure , he would . victoria : okay , katie and johnny have been kissed . hannah has her orders to spoil them rotten . [ sighs ] it 's gon na be a hard day for me , but at least they 'll have some fun . [ sighs ] i can do this . travis : i 'm right here . victoria : thank you . you know , it 's really weird how , um ... how billy is pushing you to go on this trip with cane and me . it 's like he wants us to be together , or something . travis : you sound disappointed . victoria : no , i 'm not -- what , that billy is n't jealous ? no , not at all . i 'm not disappointed . it 's just -- i just want to know what his angle is , as billy always has some angle . you know what ? old habit . that ends today . i do not care what billy 's angle is . he can have 1 million angles for all i care . i 'm just gon na live my life and not take one minute of it for granted . travis : we both already made that mistake once . victoria : yeah , we did . but we fixed it . travis : ready ? victoria : yeah . thank you . abby : it 's summer . she 's sad she could n't be here , but she wanted me to give dad an extra hug . ashley : oh , i 'm sorry . abby : i love you , dad . victor : i love you , too , my darling . abby : if there 's anything i can do ... victor : your love is all i need . excuse me for a moment . ashley : where 's ben ? abby : he texted me earlier . there was an emergency at the hospital . ashley : oh , that 's too bad . i thought he was gon na be here to support you , honey . nick : hi . hey , little man . i love the kicks . good shoes . chelsea : are we late ? nick : no , no , no . you 're right on time . chelsea : this looks lovely . thank you for putting this together . nick : yeah , sure . you guys want to go to your seats ? chelsea : where 's connor ? billy : come on , phyllis . [ cell phone rings ] billy : [ sighs ] jack : hey , connor . you miss your daddy , do n't you ? i do , too . a lot . that 's why we 're here today . to give him a proper goodbye . to talk about how much we loved him . i 'm gon na let you in on a little secret . i 'm very , very sad . i know you 're gon na be , too , and i thought maybe the two of us could get through this together . what do you say ? hmm ? nikki : hey . you remember what i said to you the night i came over to your apartment ? that your son 's soul were to always be with adam , no matter where adam was . that he would be close by . always remember that , okay ? nick : chelsea , if this is too difficult for you , we can -- we can postpone it , or if you 'd rather wait for your mom , we can do that , too . chelsea : no , no . i want to do this . i have to do this now . [ sniffles ] for connor . [ sighs ] thank you for organizing all of this . you 're a good brother , nick , and a good friend . [ sighs ] nick : you ready ? chelsea : yeah . chloe : little man . i 'm gon na be right over there if you need anything , okay ? and i mean anything 'cause my purse is like an emergency kit . i 've got lipstick and tissues and chocolate . chelsea : i 'm fine . chloe : i know you are 'cause you 're a strong , powerful woman . but even strong and powerful women need -- chelsea : her best friend ? chloe : mm , i was gon na say chocolate , but you got both . i 'll be right over there . jack : i 'm sorry for your loss . victor : i appreciate you saying that . thank you . nick : thank you all for coming . sometimes i feel like we get together for these things way too often . maybe the best way to start is with a prayer . so we 'll take a moment of silence . [ door opens ] nick : amen . all : amen . nick : so , there 's no real plan for this . you know , it 's kind of informal . if anyone has a story or a memory , a special moment with adam you 'd like to come up and share , then just come on up . all right , well , if nobody minds , then i guess i 'll go first . it 's no real surprise that adam and i were on the opposite sides of pretty much everything . i did n't understand a lot of the choices he made , and i thought the worst of him way too many times . you know , after he was accused of murder , he came to me asking for my help . and i refused . i 'm very sorry for that . i feel like if i 'd been there , you know , if i 'd been a better brother , then maybe we would n't be standing here today . you know , the past few weeks , i 've come to know adam as a man who loves his family . more than anything , he was willing to do whatever it took , take any risk to have the life he wanted with you and connor . and i 'm honored to call this man my brother . whatever mistakes adam made ... you know , he was a man who had heart . he was brave . and i really feel like was just starting to show us the man that he -- that he really was . and now we 'll never get to see it . but ... i 'm sure we would have been amazed . billy : drink ? phyllis : you know where i was when you texted me ? billy : planning your escape . and now you 're here . phyllis : i was listening to jack and ashley and abby feeling sorry for victor . i had to hear all about his grief and his broken heart . billy : yeah , adam 's memorial . ashley told me . phyllis : do you think i should be there to offer my condolences ? tell him how sorry i am for his loss ? billy : is that a trick question ? because if it is , that 's -- phyllis : hypocritical . billy : victor 's the last person in the world that deserves your sympathy . phyllis : thank you . you get it . you get me . billy : and my brother does n't , or he never would have expected you to go . phyllis : i do n't want to talk about jack . it just reminds me of the kind of person i really am . billy : what kind of person are you ? nick : dad . victor : this is not a place that any parent should have to be -- to say goodbye to their child . not a place any father should have to be -- to say farewell to his son . not a person in this room who does n't question my relationship with my son , who does n't think that i should have been a better father to adam . i agree with you . i should have been . adam was driven and very ambitious , and these are qualities that i admired , that i encouraged . he sometimes employed means i disagreed with . but his heart was always in the right place . chelsea , i 've got to tell you , my son changed after he fell in love with you . your marriage to him is what made him a better man . and when you had that beautiful boy -- connor , my grandson , of whom i 'm so proud -- his life was almost complete . he began new hopes and dreams and aspirations for the future . and i think of the life you might have had with adam . a wonderful life you might have shared . but it was all cut short far too soon . there are certain things none of you here know that i need to talk about , that need to be explained . [ next_on ] victor : if you all wonder who 's to blame ... nikki : victor . do n't do this . victor : no . jack : we ca n't control the people we love . | jack and phyllis have an argument because he thinks she should put her feelings for victor aside and go to adam 's memorial service for chelsea and connor 's sake . phyllis tells jack she feels badly about chelsea and connor 's loss but she ca n't forget what victor did to both of them . phyllis thinks that jack does n't understand her ; so when she gets a text from billy , she goes to the abbott cabin to be with him . adam 's memorial service begins and everyone shares memories of him . victor gets up and tells everyone that there is something everyone has to know about who caused adam 's death . victoria is surprised when travis tells her that billy is n't going on the business trip to seattle and that he offered travis his ticket so that he could go with victoria on the trip . | <s>[INST] sharon : hey , what you did for chelsea -- that was -- it was really lovely . i know that she 'll be grateful . nick : i made a promise to adam to look out for his son . chelsea 's part of that package . nikki : oh . what a beautiful way to honor adam 's memory . hi . mm . sharon , i did n't know i would see you today . sharon : well , i used to be married to adam . nikki : oh , yes . nick : where 's dad ? nikki : well , he just is checking on chelsea . nick : why would he do that ? nikki : he 's concerned about his grandson . nick : it 's not a good idea . not today of all days . chloe : look at you . do n't you look spiffy .

'cause she was explicitly clear . she wants you going and not me . billy : jill wants me and victoria on top of a wedding cake . that 's all this is about . cane : exactly , so what do you think she 's gon na say when i go instead of you ? billy : i do n't know . she 's gon na freak out , she 's gon na shriek . she 's probably gon na throw something . it 's probably gon na be at you . so just do n't tell her you 're going . cane : billy . i have to tell her . she 's gon na find out . what are you talking about ? billy : do n't tell her till you get back , okay ? my mother and your father are too busy inspecting every room in this place to notice what 's going on . so , what do you say ? do we have a deal ? come on . cane : you know what ? no . no , no , no . you 're up to something . even if you 're not admitting it . no . we do n't have a deal . nick : a few hours ago , chelsea was convinced dad blew up that cabin with adam in it . sharon : the last thing she needs is a face - to - face with that man . nikki : look , she spoke to victor . she knows that he had nothing to do with it . nick : yeah , but adam was in the cabin in the first place because dad framed him . i do n't think chelsea 's forgotten that . nikki : well , that means that they do indeed have quite a bit to talk about , nicholas . your father 's very remorseful . all he wants to do is the right thing . nick : sharon , could you give us a second ? sharon : yeah , of course . nick : thank you . you do know that dad stripped adam of his life and convinced himself it was okay ? so why defend him ? why keep any of his secrets , mom ? why do any of that ? victor : you 're gon na take care of your mom , are n't you ? i know you are . i know you are . chelsea : connor needs to finish getting ready . chloe : okay , i will take him upstairs . victor : [ chuckles ] yes . i love you , my boy . connor : a kitty . victor : yes , i know . chloe : come on , buddy . let 's go upstairs . victor : there you go . chloe : take kitty . oh ! victor : oh ! chloe : oh ! what ? victor : how are you doing ? chelsea : my husband is dead . victor : you do n't think that i -- chelsea : what , had anything to do with the explosion ? no . but you started all this . you had to show adam your power , show him the consequences of crossing you , and now my son is growing up without his father . victor : but i 'm here for your son . i want to do what 's best for him . chelsea : what is best for him is none of your business . victor : i 'm his grandfather . michael : [ sighs ] all he wanted was justice and a life with his family . sharon : adam was a complicated soul . michael : he was that . sharon : where 's lauren ? michael : uh , she 's out of town -- work . she could n't make it back in time . sharon : well , i 'm afraid you 're here pretty early . services wo n't get started for a while . michael : yeah , well , part of me thought early would be good . slip in , say my goodbyes , leave before everybody arrives . sharon : why ? michael : i might have an inappropriate amount of anger about how all this went down . and then there 's the blame factor . sharon : victor . michael : top of the list . but i 'm on it , too . sharon : you did everything you could to help adam . michael : i should have worked harder , dug deeper . [ sighs ] just -- i ca n't help but think that there was something i could have done , something that would have stopped the insanity before it got to this . nikki : nicholas , your father has changed . remember when he was shot protecting me in the courthouse ? nick : yeah . when ian took you hostage . nikki : and what did he do ? did he just say , `` oh , well , i 'll let somebody else save nikki ? `` no , he did n't . he got out of his hospital bed , he looked down the barrel of ian 's guy , and he saved phyllis and me . even though he was very upset that we testified against him , there was a lot of love there . nick : look , i 'll always be grateful , what he did for you and phyllis , but while he was doing that , he was manipulating adam 's life . it 's the same old dad . nikki : well , he was so consumed with anger with adam all those years , he did n't realize that he had gone so far , and when he did , he just wanted to give adam the life he deserved . nick : it was too late , was n't it ? nikki : yes , it was , and he is devastated . i have seen his agony . he is sobbing in my arms , nicholas . he has n't slept . i mean , this thing has brought him to his knees . he 's not just grieving . he is searching . nick : for what ? nikki : redemption . [ sighs ] nothing brought adam more joy than you and connor . i mean , i just saw him light up whenever he talked about you . and i wanted very much for him to live in that light . away from that terrible prison , away from me , away from our poisonous relationship . you know , i was not responsible for that explosion . but it was my fault . i made a promise to adam -- a promise a father makes to his son . for you , and that is very hard for me . with connor somewhere else , i will support that . i will not stand in your way . that 's all i came to say . and one more thing -- i 'm very sorry . i 'm deeply sorry . so harsh with you . it seems like when it comes to victor , she just ca n't control herself . abby : i probably overreacted . ashley : no , you did n't . not at all . abby : it 's just -- it 's seeing dad that devastated . he just lost his son , and she could n't show him any compassion ? i mean , does she just block it out ? [ sighs ] ashley : honey , are you talking about your miscarriage now ? abby : it brought me there . all over again . the way that stitch could n't deal with it . he just shut me out . he shut down . ashley : well , i do n't think anybody has ever accused phyllis of shutting down . abby : but seeing her that angry , it made me think that could be me . i could have let all of the anger and the hurt consume me . and i know what happened to phyllis because of dad is beyond horrible , but maybe if she could just let go of some of that pain , she 'd start to heal . gon na tell me that we should forget what victor did to us , that we should go to the memorial and just forget that he blew our lives to hell ? jack : do i want you by my side when i say goodbye to adam ? yes . would i ever insist that you go ? no . not after what victor put you through . phyllis : put me -- how about put us through ? i do n't know how you do it , because you nearly died . kelly did die . our marriage was brutalized . we ca n't even talk about what happened , and yet , you seem to want to put this in a neat box and you want to label it `` the past `` and you think we should just move on . jack : i would never minimize the devastation that victor brought to our lives . phyllis : no , but you want me to play nice . you want me to rise above and you want me to be the bigger person , but i do n't want to be the bigger person . i want him to feel the pain we felt . i want him to get hurt the way we got hurt . but for some reason , i am the wrong one because you think that victor deserves a pass , a free pass ! jack : i never said those words . phyllis : okay , you know what ? you 're gon na comfort him today . that 's what you 're gon na do . jack : no , i am going to pay my respects to adam ! not victor ! phyllis : victor is gon na make it all about victor . jack : chelsea woke up a widow ! connor woke up fatherless ! nicholas , victoria , abby all lost one of their own . and yes , a father lost his son . so , yes , i 'm going to this memorial service , and i will go to victor , father to father , and i will acknowledge his loss . phyllis : then i guess that makes you a better person than me . billy : i 'm on the level , cane . cane : or the suitcase is empty , and you want me to go so you can pull a power play , and when i come back , i get my butt handed to me . billy : [ laughs ] you know , that sound like music to my ears . i 'm going away for some `` me `` time . look and see . satisfied ? now , if you want , stay home and worry about what i 'm doing behind your back , or you can go to seattle and make brash & sassy ! the biggest thing that ever hit the pacific northwest . you can get rid of me at the same time . cane : if you 're lying to me , billy , i 'll make you regret this , okay ? billy : the only person i 'm lying to is my mother , and now you 're lying to her , too . and this is making me feel all weird and brotherly and stuff . come on . what do you say ? come on . all right . cane : i say , `` hello , seattle . `` that 's what i say . billy : okay . have fun . cane : do n't make me regret it . phyllis : i am sorry that adam is gone . i feel like he was finding his way , you know ? my heart goes out to chelsea , to connor , to everybody who has ever loved him and who has now lost him . and to you , the man who was more of a father to him than victor ever could be . but why i am angry is because you want me to share that loss with that hypocrite . jack : adam died . adam died . today is for adam and chelsea and connor , and they deserve our prayers and our love and our support . all the help they can get ! and if to do that , i have to stand in the same room as victor and acknowledge his pain , that 's what i 'm gon na do . phyllis : because you 're fundamentally decent , and i am not . jack : no . you are a passionate woman who is deeply loyal , fiercely protective of her family . and i could n't ask for a more decent woman to share my life with . phyllis : i love you for saying that . but that 's not how i feel . cane : hey , i 'm leaving for the office right now . well , of course i 'd rather be in seattle shepherding my project , okay , but you 're the boss . you remember that , right ? yeah , well , i just hope that billy and victoria knock it out of the park and everybody wins . okay . all right , bye . sharon : you 're crazy if you feel guilty for what happened to adam . you put your heart and soul into that case . you fought for his freedom when there was really no hope left , and you never stopped . michael : and now i 'm at his memorial service . sharon : well , not because of anything you did . everyone knows you did your best for adam . michael : not everyone . nikki : did you see connor ? how 's chelsea doing ? victor : she 's strong . she will get connor through this . nick : we 're gon na help each other . we 're newmans . if we stay together , we 're gon na be just fine . chloe : here . drink this . it 'll help . actually , i do n't even know why people say that . um , well , connor is upstairs and he 's all ready to go . he thought that his coat and his tie needed a little pizzazz , so he picked out his cool sneakers that his daddy bought him . then we took a selfie and we sent it to my mom and bella . chelsea : thank you for helping us . chloe : connor 's being so brave . so are you . chelsea : no , this is n't brave . this is putting one foot in front of the other . for connor . 'cause i 'll tell you what , if it was just me , i would ... chloe : i hope victor did n't upset you too much . after everything that he 's done to you and adam , it 's understandable why you would n't want him around . chelsea : no , actually , victor was -- i was ready to throw him out , but he was different . when he started talking about adam , it was almost as if -- if he could make this better for me , if he could give me some peace , some form of closure , he would . victoria : okay , katie and johnny have been kissed . hannah has her orders to spoil them rotten . [ sighs ] it 's gon na be a hard day for me , but at least they 'll have some fun . [ sighs ] i can do this . travis : i 'm right here . victoria : thank you . you know , it 's really weird how , um ... how billy is pushing you to go on this trip with cane and me . it 's like he wants us to be together , or something . travis : you sound disappointed . victoria : no , i 'm not -- what , that billy is n't jealous ? no , not at all . i 'm not disappointed . it 's just -- i just want to know what his angle is , as billy always has some angle . you know what ? old habit . that ends today . i do not care what billy 's angle is . he can have 1 million angles for all i care . i 'm just gon na live my life and not take one minute of it for granted . travis : we both already made that mistake once . victoria : yeah , we did . but we fixed it . travis : ready ? victoria : yeah . thank you . abby : it 's summer . she 's sad she could n't be here , but she wanted me to give dad an extra hug . ashley : oh , i 'm sorry . abby : i love you , dad . victor : i love you , too , my darling . abby : if there 's anything i can do ... victor : your love is all i need . excuse me for a moment . ashley : where 's ben ? abby : he texted me earlier . there was an emergency at the hospital . ashley : oh , that 's too bad . i thought he was gon na be here to support you , honey . nick : hi . hey , little man . i love the kicks . good shoes . chelsea : are we late ? nick : no , no , no . you 're right on time . chelsea : this looks lovely . thank you for putting this together . nick : yeah , sure . you guys want to go to your seats ? chelsea : where 's connor ? billy : come on , phyllis . [ cell phone rings ] billy : [ sighs ] jack : hey , connor . you miss your daddy , do n't you ? i do , too . a lot . that 's why we 're here today . to give him a proper goodbye . to talk about how much we loved him . i 'm gon na let you in on a little secret . i 'm very , very sad . i know you 're gon na be , too , and i thought maybe the two of us could get through this together . what do you say ? hmm ? nikki : hey . you remember what i said to you the night i came over to your apartment ? that your son 's soul were to always be with adam , no matter where adam was . that he would be close by . always remember that , okay ? nick : chelsea , if this is too difficult for you , we can -- we can postpone it , or if you 'd rather wait for your mom , we can do that , too . chelsea : no , no . i want to do this . i have to do this now . [ sniffles ] for connor . [ sighs ] thank you for organizing all of this . you 're a good brother , nick , and a good friend . [ sighs ] nick : you ready ? chelsea : yeah . chloe : little man . i 'm gon na be right over there if you need anything , okay ? and i mean anything 'cause my purse is like an emergency kit . i 've got lipstick and tissues and chocolate . chelsea : i 'm fine . chloe : i know you are 'cause you 're a strong , powerful woman . but even strong and powerful women need -- chelsea : her best friend ? chloe : mm , i was gon na say chocolate , but you got both . i 'll be right over there . jack : i 'm sorry for your loss . victor : i appreciate you saying that . thank you . nick : thank you all for coming . sometimes i feel like we get together for these things way too often . maybe the best way to start is with a prayer . so we 'll take a moment of silence . [ door opens ] nick : amen . all : amen . nick : so , there 's no real plan for this . you know , it 's kind of informal . if anyone has a story or a memory , a special moment with adam you 'd like to come up and share , then just come on up . all right , well , if nobody minds , then i guess i 'll go first . it 's no real surprise that adam and i were on the opposite sides of pretty much everything . i did n't understand a lot of the choices he made , and i thought the worst of him way too many times . you know , after he was accused of murder , he came to me asking for my help . and i refused . i 'm very sorry for that . i feel like if i 'd been there , you know , if i 'd been a better brother , then maybe we would n't be standing here today . you know , the past few weeks , i 've come to know adam as a man who loves his family . more than anything , he was willing to do whatever it took , take any risk to have the life he wanted with you and connor . and i 'm honored to call this man my brother . whatever mistakes adam made ... you know , he was a man who had heart . he was brave . and i really feel like was just starting to show us the man that he -- that he really was . and now we 'll never get to see it . but ... i 'm sure we would have been amazed . billy : drink ? phyllis : you know where i was when you texted me ? billy : planning your escape . and now you 're here . phyllis : i was listening to jack and ashley and abby feeling sorry for victor . i had to hear all about his grief and his broken heart . billy : yeah , adam 's memorial . ashley told me . phyllis : do you think i should be there to offer my condolences ? tell him how sorry i am for his loss ? billy : is that a trick question ? because if it is , that 's -- phyllis : hypocritical . billy : victor 's the last person in the world that deserves your sympathy . phyllis : thank you . you get it . you get me . billy : and my brother does n't , or he never would have expected you to go . phyllis : i do n't want to talk about jack . it just reminds me of the kind of person i really am . billy : what kind of person are you ? nick : dad . victor : this is not a place that any parent should have to be -- to say goodbye to their child . not a place any father should have to be -- to say farewell to his son . not a person in this room who does n't question my relationship with my son , who does n't think that i should have been a better father to adam . i agree with you . i should have been . adam was driven and very ambitious , and these are qualities that i admired , that i encouraged . he sometimes employed means i disagreed with . but his heart was always in the right place . chelsea , i 've got to tell you , my son changed after he fell in love with you . your marriage to him is what made him a better man . and when you had that beautiful boy -- connor , my grandson , of whom i 'm so proud -- his life was almost complete . he began new hopes and dreams and aspirations for the future . and i think of the life you might have had with adam . a wonderful life you might have shared . but it was all cut short far too soon . there are certain things none of you here know that i need to talk about , that need to be explained . [ next_on ] victor : if you all wonder who 's to blame ... nikki : victor . do n't do this . victor : no . jack : we ca n't control the people we love .Summarize.[/INST]jack and phyllis have an argument because he thinks she should put her feelings for victor aside and go to adam 's memorial service for chelsea and connor 's sake . phyllis tells jack she feels badly about chelsea and connor 's loss but she ca n't forget what victor did to both of them . phyllis thinks that jack does n't understand her ; so when she gets a text from billy , she goes to the abbott cabin to be with him . adam 's memorial service begins and everyone shares memories of him . victor gets up and tells everyone that there is something everyone has to know about who caused adam 's death . victoria is surprised when travis tells her that billy is n't going on the business trip to seattle and that he offered travis his ticket so that he could go with victoria on the trip .</s> | 18,011 |

jj : hey , we heard sami brady was brought in . you had her arrested ? lani : do n't tell me she -- hope : no . no , but she did grab my gun . and she held rolf at gunpoint , demanding he tell her where will was being held . jj : so it 's true ? will 's really alive ? hope : rolf claimed that -- well , claimed that he attempted to revive will in the morgue . yet he never did confirm that he succeeded . jj : under whose orders did he make that attempt ? hope : that 's a good question . he insisted he was n't working for stefano . but unfortunately , he bit down on a cyanide pill and died before i was able to get more out of him . jj : i do n't believe this . hope : i know . listen , i need you two to assist the csis in combing the room for clues , okay ? i need to know who rolf was working for . any hope we have of finding out the truth about will depends on it . gabi : you changed the subject the last time we ran into sheila . so , what , there 's some bad history there ? eli : yeah . gabi : but you do n't want to talk about it ... and i agreed to stay out of your business . so forget i asked . eli : no . it 's time i told somebody what happened between sheila and me . truth is , we used to be pretty tight . gabi : was she your girlfriend ? eli : she was a lot more than that . bonnie : i need a taxi ... like yesterday . no , i 'll tell the driver once he gets here , all right ? yes , i 'm going out of town . far out of town . sheila : you better cancel that cab , 'cause you ai n't going nowhere . and besides , i thought we had a deal . i keep your secret that you 're really not adrienne , and you thank me by paying me cold , hard cash . bonnie : are you kidding me right now ? you were there ! you saw me get busted . and now i got the whole kiriakis greek chorus after me ! if i do n't get out of town right now , i am gon na end up back at statesville . and you better pray , sweetheart , i do n't take you with me . sheila : so what 's that , a threat ? smith : you 're saying lockhart had a look - alike ? steve : who happens to be my sister adrienne . she was brought in here to take lockhart 's place . smith : look , i get that you 're a former colleague of the doctor who runs our infirmary -- well respected and all -- but just how stupid do you think i am ? kayla : we do n't think you 're stupid -- bonnie lockhart is in cellblock c , most likely causing trouble that 'll get her thrown back into solitary . steve : that 's not bonnie ! that 's my sister ! bonnie lockhart escaped from here and put adrienne johnson kiriakis in her place ! smith : prove it . adrienne : [ sobbing ] oh , justin . oh , god ! it was so awful . i was so afraid . i was so scared i would never see you or anybody ever again . justin : it 's over now , okay ? sweetheart , it 's over . it 's over . i 'm gon na take you home . it 's all over . adrienne : [ sobs ] home ... home ... justin : sweetheart . adrienne : [ sobs ] it 's over ... justin : yeah , it 's over . adrienne : it 's over . justin : it 's over . adrienne : you saved me . you saved me . oh , my god , you saved me . time 's up . adrienne : oh , no . no . back to solitary . justin : you 're not taking her anywhere ! male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] i 've been nice up until now . but i 'm about to throw you out of this place . justin : you do that , and i 'll see you not only lose your job , but i will sue you and this entire institution ! we 'll see what my supervisor says , hotshot . justin : you do that . i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . adrienne : oh , god , do you think i care about him ? oh , my god , justin , i ca n't believe you 're here . i ca n't believe my prayers have been answered . justin : i know , i know . you 're safe now . you 're safe now . this nightmare is over , baby . nightmare 's over . adrienne : oh , i hope so . justin : once steve and kayla finish explaining to the warden , you 're finally gon na be free . adrienne : free . justin : yeah . adrienne : oh , my god . free . free . smith : even you have to admit , this is hard to swallow . steve : if you do n't believe us , ask bonnie . i 'm sure the salem pd has her in custody by now . kayla : actually , they don't . according to maggie 's text , she got away and made a run for it . smith : huh . is n't that convenient ? steve : listen . all you have to do is take my sister 's fingerprints . i guarantee they wo n't match the ones you have on lockhart . smith : this is a correctional facility , not a police station . we do n't take prints here . steve : so take her down to the station ; have them done there . smith : she 's not going anywhere . not as long as my inmate count checks out and no one 's missing . steve : how about we give you a firsthand account of what went down ? smith : from who ? the so - called sister you say is n't lockhart ? steve : no . from another inmate . hattie adams . jj : whoever rolf was working for must 've been pretty dangerous . lani : why else would he take his own life rather than expose the boss ? hope : hopefully we 'll find something solid enough in this room that will lead us to whoever that is . got a minute , commissioner ? hope : yeah . be right back . what do you got ? lani : i still ca n't believe sami flipped out and held rolf at gunpoint like she did . jj : i get it . the guy took her son away . it 's hard not to go to that place when someone threatens the people you love . lani : that 's weird . jj : what 's weird ? lani : the bag is empty , but i still hear something moving . jj : sure you did n't miss a pocket ? lani : i do n't see an opening . but maybe i 'm not supposed to . bingo . gabi : `` a lot more than your girlfriend `` ? i do n't understand ... eli : sheila was like a sister to me . she and her brother russell and i , we grew up together . gabi : in baltimore , right ? eli : yeah . my mom worked at the county hospital . we lived in a nearby neighborhood . gabi : that 's where you met them ? eli : yeah . my mom worked pretty long hours , and i sorta got caught up in the latchkey gang after school and in the summertime . gabi : wow , so you were pretty much on your own ? no adult supervision ? eli : [ laughs ] which was cool at first . i mean , we had some good times . hanging out at the park ; playing stick ball ; kicking it at the city pool . things just changed when we got older -- as they usually do . gabi : how did they change ? eli : there was a couple incidents . i did some stupid stuff , and i got in trouble with the cops . gabi : this `` trouble , `` does it involve sheila and russell ? eli : yeah , it does . sheila : look , bitch , i 'm tired of being strung along . it 's bad enough i had to pretend to be the maid , and dust those stupid figurines -- bonnie : pretend is right . i did all the work ! all you did was wear the uniform . sheila : [ scoffs ] you need to be lucky i did that ! and that snooty butler henderson still has n't paid me . and the only reason i ai n't trip and make a fuss about it is because i figured with you marrying the old man , my payday would be any day now . bonnie : yeah , well , that 's what i figured too . now we 're both in the same boat . sheila : uh , no , we 're not . because you 're gon na get my money . and you 're gon na make sure of it . bonnie : oh , and just how do you expect me to do that ? sheila : i do n't know . but you sure as hell better figure it out because i 'm flat broke . and if you think i 'm leaving salem by letting you off the hook , you 're dead wrong ! so i want what you promised , and i want it now ! adrienne : thank you . oh , my god . you do n't know what it 's been like in here . when i first got here , they threw me in solitary . i do n't know . maybe it was better . i mean , at least i did n't get my butt kicked , right ? but they would n't even let me make a phone call . and then when hattie let me use her phone card , i called you . i just thought it was my last hope . justin : i did n't get a call . adrienne : no , i know . bonnie answered the phone . i guess she recognized the number . i mean , and i tried to scare her into giving up , but she just hung up on me . justin : i 'm so sorry . adrienne : no , justin , it was n't you . then i tried to call lucas , and all he did was yell at me . i mean , he told me that he did n't want to hear a word out of my mouth and that i was nothing but a liar . i mean , i honestly , i ca n't blame him . i mean , he does n't know that it was bonnie that broke up with him , not me . but -- but still , he was so angry . and he did n't even sound like himself . justin : yeah . he isn't . adrienne : what do you mean ? justin : lucas is drinking again . he relapsed after ... bonnie and i got back together . adrienne : oh , god , no ! justin : maggie and jennifer and kate , they all tried to help him . they staged an intervention . they begged him to go into rehab . and basically he just told them to go to hell . i 'm sorry . adrienne : after all those years of sobriety ... god -- damn that bonnie lockhart for doing this to him ! justin : actually , it 's just more than that . i mean , lucas 's drinking is n't just about you -- adrienne : what ? justin , tell me . justin : it 's about will . smith : what 's adams got to do with this ? [ knock at door ] steve : you 're about to find out . smith : come in . hattie : warden smith ? oh ! oh ! hey , look . look . i -- i did n't do anything wrong . you know ? [ stammers ] please . the truth is that -- that -- as soon as you left , i gave her my phone card so she could call and let people know she was here . smith : what are you talking about ? steve : hattie , just calm down and tell the warden how my sister ended up in here . kayla : please , hattie . we need to know . hattie : well , see , it was all 'cause of a woman named anjelica deveraux . so the back door of the kitchen was left open , and that was -- that was when the switch happened and bonnie became adrienne and adrienne became bonnie . steve : so now you know . smith : quite a story . steve : it 's amazing we figured it all out , huh ? smith : oh , `` amazing 's `` the word , all right . lies . deception . dopplegangers . steve : it 's all true . smith : next you 'll be telling me that the devil made you do it . hattie : well , i mean , anj was n't any angel , but , boy , if she got -- if she got cross with you , she could sure let you have it . smith : and where is this criminal mastermind now ? both : she 's dead . smith : oh , that 's it . this meeting is over . steve : come on . you just heard the whole story ! smith : and i do n't believe a damn word of it . steve : maybe you do n't want to believe it because it makes it look like you fell down on the job ! kayla : you know what ? i would n't believe it either . i mean , the story is a little over the top . but it is true . smith : well , i 'm having a hard time buying that . kayla : i understand that . but i think i know how we can settle this once and for all . hope : any luck ? jj : no , it 's password - protected . hope : yeah , of course it is . all right , i 'm gon na call the tech lab down at the station , see if anyone knows how to bypass the lock . in the meantime , keep working on it , okay ? lani : do you have any clue how to crack the code ? jj : i had a friend at salem u -- jason -- used his own phone to crack into other people 's clouds . if we can get into rolf 's cloud the same way , we might be able to remotely change the password to the tablet . bonnie : look , sheila , i 'm trying to protect you here , all right ? no one has put together that you and i are accomplices yet . so why do n't you just roll on to greener pastures while you still can , all right ? sheila : great idea ! except for there 's no green . and i ca n't go anywhere without it . bonnie : [ sighs ] really ? you 're not gon na let this go , are you ? sheila : no , because the ticket the prison gave me i used that to get to salem . and the money i scraped together is gone now . bonnie : what about the benjamins i just gave you for the wedding that did n't happen ? you do n't seem to get it . i ran out of that mansion with nothing but the clothes on my back . i do n't even know how i 'm gon na pay for the cab i just called to get me the hell out of dodge ! sheila : i should 've helped adrienne when i had the chance . 'cause she said you would stiff me . bonnie : you know , but i did n't want this to blow up in my face any more than you did , all right ? i mean , come on . do n't you have a friend somewhere who can help you ? sheila : i thought i did , but i was wrong . no , i don't . gabi : just how `` stupid `` were these things you did with sheila and her brother ? eli : nothing major . i mean , at least not by street standards -- shoplifting , vandalism . mainly just to see -- just to see who had the guts to go through with it . gabi : did your mom know about it ? eli : she had her suspicions . yeah , she was not about to let that happen . she , um ... she scared the hell out of me . the cops , on the other hand , they scared me straight . but my mom was no joke . she , um ... she ordered me to stay away from sheila and russell . gabi : did you ? stay away ? eli : yeah . i did . then a couple months later , she got transferred to another hospital . you know , i still think that she put in on that just to get me away from those two . gabi : so what happened to sheila and her brother ? eli : i went to say goodbye before we left . and i found out that they had moved on from petty theft to dealing drugs . gabi : and were they eventually arrested ? eli : yeah . by me . kayla : if i could just get some swabs from dr . thompson , i could take a dna samples from steve and adrienne , and not only would it prove that they are related , but that the woman in there is not bonnie lockhart . smith : we do n't have a lab here either . kayla : well , dr . thompson can send them to whatever lab he chooses , at no cost to the prison . and i will authorize clearance for you and dr . thompson to review adrienne 's medical records . smith : why would i need to see them ? kayla : because they will show that adrienne had a double mastectomy , reconstructive surgery , and is in remission for breast cancer . that is a condition that bonnie could n't fake if she tried . smith : i 'll allow it . kayla : thank you . smith : do n't thank me just yet . if the woman i believe is lockhart does turn out to be your sister , i still have a missing inmate . steve : well , is n't that your problem ? smith : actually , it 's yours . unless you can find me the other bonnie lockhart , the woman in cellblock c is n't going anywhere . adrienne : poor sonny . i mean , come on . he finally finds someone who 's gon na make him happy , and then that maniac walks in and tells him will 's still alive ? justin : our son is stronger than even he knows . but obviously it 's been very hard on him . adrienne : do you think it 's possible -- i mean , come on , do you think will is -- justin : yeah , i did n't think so at first . once we heard from clyde weston who heard it from dr . rolf himself . adrienne : stefano 's rolf ? justin : yeah , and considering he has brought people back to life before , the salem pd thinks it 's worth checking out . adrienne : i need to see my son . he needs me . lucas needs me too . i ca n't believe i have n't been there for them , justin . justin : sweetheart , you 'll see them soon enough , okay ? but again , you 're not going anywhere until steve and kayla straighten things out with the warden . adrienne : i know . i just -- justin : and since we 're stuck here waiting , there 's something that i 'd like to straighten out myself -- namely , what that kiss was about . jj : so , i was right -- the user i d for rolf 's cloud is his email address . lani : well , hopefully , these stats will help figure out his password . jj : i 'm a try his birthday first . lani : if that does n't work , try birth place or his mother 's maiden name , the year he graduated med school . where he went to med school -- jj : can you just give me a second to try one of them ? lani : you know , this kind of reminds me of that time we were stuck on the plane in greece together . jj : [ laughs ] right . when everyone else got to go after xander and we were ordered to hold down the fort . lani : it was n't that bad . it was kind of romantic , thanks to you . check this out . jj : all of that is just right outside these windows . lani : or it could be right here , inside . jj : i think i see where you 're going with this . lani : we are in one of the most beautiful places on the earth . let 's use our imaginations . jj : oh , i can do that . lani : [ laughs ] [ greek music ] [ laughs ] jj : oh , i ca n't wait till we can go on a romantic adventure without any work involved . no bad guys , no amulets . lani : i 'm with you on that . [ phone beeps ] are we in ? jj : we 've been locked out ! hope : what happened ? jj : damn ! three failed attempts , now i 'm locked out permanently . hope : well , i just talked to the tech lab . they said to bring it in , they 'll take a shot at it . jj : you know , maybe they do n't have to . hey , guys , hold on . will you hold up ? lani : what are you doing ? jj : there might be another way to crack the code . we just need some help from the good doctor himself . gabi : so you arrested sheila and her brother ? eli : yeah , i did . and they were sent to prison . gabi : yeah , but , you know , you did n't do anything wrong . they were dealing drugs . you were just doing your job , right ? eli : it was -- it was a little bit more than that . gabi : go on . eli : when i got assigned to the fbi , i got assigned to a case involving this drug kingpin out of chicago . the bureau was trying to crack down hard on this guy . i figured i 'd go undercover and infiltrate the worker bees . gabi : okay . eli : anyway , when i got the file , there were mug shots of sheila and russell . gabi : so they left baltimore ? eli : yeah . not long after i did . and they were pretty high up in the chicago drug ring . so i offered to go undercover , and i did n't tell any of the higher- ups that i knew some of the key players . gabi : in other words , you used your friendship with sheila and russell to infiltrate the crew and break up the drug ring . eli : they trusted me , and i threw them under the bus to advance my own career . i got a promotion , and they were sent to prison . sheila : i thought we were friends . bonnie : we are , sheila . i 'm talking about someone who 's liquid enough to float you a loan . sheila : well , do n't you have someone who can float you some dough ? like the daughter you took that murder rap for ? yeah , she owes you big - time . bonnie : my daughter mimi she does owe me big - time . the problem is , she 's not taking my calls . sheila : [ scoffs ] hell , at this point , i 'll take whatever you have on you . bonnie : how many times do i have to tell you ? i got nothing ! not one red cent . sheila : well , i 'll take that . bonnie : my pin ? sheila : yeah , i mean , it ai n't my taste . but i remember you going on and on about how priceless -- bonnie : you ca n't have this ! this is all i have left of my mickey . are you kidding me ? adrienne : kiss . it just sort of -- justin : happened . adrienne : yeah . justin : for me too . steve : there she is ! [ all talking at once ] adrienne : steve ! thank god ! steve : let me look at you . you all right ? no one hurt you , did they ? adrienne : no one hurt me . oh , my god , i ca n't believe i 'm looking at you guys . kayla : let me in . let me in . hi , baby . oh , my gosh . so good to see you . adrienne : oh , my god . i ca n't believe i 'm looking at you guys . i missed you so much . oh , my god . and joey , my sweet nephew . oh , my god , i kept remembering how he was kidnapped by orpheus ... and i kept trying to , you know , channel him , 'cause he was so co -- what ? oh , my god , is joey okay ? steve : we can talk about it later . adrienne : no ! we 're gon na talk about it now . what ? what ? kayla : joey 's in prison -- adrienne : what ? steve : for killing ava . adrienne : what ? i thought you -- steve : i was covering for him . and once tripp came into the picture , he could n't handle the guilt anymore . he needed to turn himself in . adrienne : i ca n't believe i was n't there for him . and sonny and lucas and everybody else . kayla : it 's all right . you know what ? we all understand . we do . we understand . adrienne : i hate it ! i hate it . ohn 's disease . hope : think this 'll work ? jj : we 've got nothing to lose at this point . lani : i think it 's brilliant . jj : all right , now that i 've imprinted rolf 's fingerprint on the adhesive , we should be able to use it to access the tablet . we 're in ! lani : you did it ! hope : see anything ? jj : i see a lot . unfortunately , i do n't have any idea what it means . lani : it looks like rolf was heavy into algorithms and formulas . who knew we had another einstein on our hands ? hope : more like dr . frankenstein . i do n't see anything here that 's gon na help us . but that might . eli : when i first ran into sheila and told her i 'd been fired from the fbi , she said she was glad to know that there was still some justice in this world . gabi : guess you ca n't blame her . eli : i don't . in fact , i took losing my job at the fbi as karmic payback . gabi : but you know what ? it was n't like they were innocent , all right ? had you not arrested them , another agent would 've showed up and broken up that drug ring . eli : another agent would n't have made the pact the three of us did as kids -- to always have each other 's back , no matter what . gabi : okay , i get that . but sheila is free now . and she can move on with her life . and so can her brother . eli : no , he can't . gabi : why not ? what happened ? eli : a member from an opposing gang attacked him in prison . he died . gabi : oh my god . eli : if i had n't stabbed my friends in the back , russell might still be here today . sheila : you 're a real piece of work , you know that ? bonnie : sheila , you do n't understand , all right ? mickey gave this to me as a symbol of our love . sheila : i thought it belonged to maggie . bonnie : well , yeah , it did at first . but when mickey thought that maggie had been killed by that serial killer , he gave it to me . and i remember seeing it in old red 's jewelry box . i mean , it was like mickey was calling out to me , you know ? sheila : maybe he was calling , `` give it back . `` bonnie : it 's not funny . look , i may not have got my revenge on maggie , but at least i got back the one -- the one thing that mickey gave me . sheila : and now you gon na give it to me . come on . give it to me . bonnie : all right , okay . give me a sec . here . but seriously , have n't you ever lost someone and wished you had one special thing to remember them by ? kayla : we got you , baby . we got you . adrienne : i just need to be able to make up for lost time now . be there for people even more than ever . steve : we 're just so happy to have you back , baby sister . adrienne : [ sobs ] justin : so what did the warden say ? when is she gon na be released ? kayla : well , we 've run into a little bit of a snag . justin : do n't tell me -- steve : yeah , bonnie got away . adrienne : what ? justin : how ? when i left , she was surrounded -- kayla : well , she saw an opening and she took it . brady went after her but he lost her . justin : okay , but to prove that she 's not bonnie , ca n't we just run adrienne 's prints -- steve : the warden refused to do that . both : what ? justin : i 'm gon na go talk to him . steve : no , no , you do n't have to do that . kayla came up with an idea to put everyone 's doubts to rest . justin : okay , i 'm listening . kayla : well , first off , i 've ordered your medical records . i want to show the warden all the things that you went through the past year and let him see that there 's no way that bonnie could have gone through those things while she was locked up . adrienne : right ? kayla : right . the next thing i 'm gon na do is swab both you and steve for your dna to prove that you are related . steve : we 'll send the swabs to the infirmary ; dr . thompson will send them out to the lab for results . adrienne : what are you waiting for ? swab . kayla : okay , all right . steve : hold on just a little bit longer , babe ? adrienne : oh , my god , i waited this long , have n't i ? just do n't let him put me back in solitary , please . justin : do n't you worry . do n't you worry . i 'm not letting you out of my sight . oh , god . thank you . thank you all . and now , i help people find discounts , kayla : just got ta get this off to dr . thompson send off . adrienne : no , wait . kayla : okay , group hug . one more hug . okay . you 're gon na be okay . kayla : stay strong , all right ? we 'll be right back . adrienne : hurry , please . hurry . steve : we 'll hurry . kayla : take care , would you ? adrienne : oh , my god . justin : wo n't be much longer . adrienne : i 'm gon na hold you to that . justin : i 'm so sorry for what anjelica put you through . so sorry . adrienne : all because she was obsessed with you . ca n't imagine why . justin , about that kiss -- justin : it was just an emotional moment . adrienne : yeah , it was . justin : i was relieved to finally find you . adrienne : and i was relieved to be found . justin : right . i mean , i know it did n't mean any more than that . i 'm not deluding myself . i know that soon you and lucas ... adrienne : poor lucas . oh , my god , i ca n't imagine what he 's going through . i mean , after finally accepting that his son was gone -- to find out that he might still be alive ? my god . justin : it 's been hard on everyone who cared about will . eli : i 'm sorry . you do n't need to hear all this . it 's not like you 're not going through enough already . gabi : stop . i needed a distraction . and you needed to talk about this . eli : i guess . although it sure as hell ai n't gon na change anything . gabi : okay , eli , listen to me . look at me . hey . you losing your job at the fbi , it was not payback for what you did . you made a mistake , that 's it . you never wanted to hurt anyone . eli : the thing is -- is that even when i had the chance to make it right , i -- never mind . gabi : what ? say it . eli : sheila 's in trouble again . gabi : that 's why she came to talk to you before ? eli : she asked me to help her , and i turned her down . the look that she gave me -- it was the same look it was the same look she gave me when they sent her away . gabi : why did n't you help her ? eli : but i just got hired at the salem pd . i mean , i wanted to , but -- again , i was scared to cross the line . gabi : what would that kid in baltimore have done ? eli : he would 've helped her , no questions asked . gabi : you 'll get another chance to make things right . eli : i hope so . hey , thanks for letting me get that off my chest . i guess now you know what type of guy i am . gabi : a great guy . with a great heart . but i mean , i already knew that , so ... sheila : hey , lockhart . catch . bonnie : what ? sheila : we 're good . bonnie : you mean it ? sheila : i mean it . the old man , he meant something to you . so you should keep it . bonnie : thank you . so much . sheila : can i give you some advice ? bonnie : could i stop you ? sheila : no , probably not , but next time , please do n't go chasing -- just do n't bite off more than you can chew . bonnie : [ laughs ] i never could resist a challenge , you know that . sheila : yes , and i know that . that 's part of the problem . [ sighs ] anyway , so where 's this cab gon na take you ? bonnie : oh , i have no idea . but you know , you 're right about my daughter mimi . she owes me . sooner or later , she 's gon na have to take my call , you know ? sheila : i want you to take care , lockhart . bonnie : you too , watkins . sheila : bring it in . bonnie : really ? sheila : yes . take care of yourself . bonnie : you too . never forget you for this . sheila : hey , may not happen again . bonnie : [ laughs ] eli : sheila ? sheila : i have nothing else to say to you . eli : wait , please . just -- just hear me out . sheila : well ? eli : about before -- i 'm sorry . sheila : sorry means it 's too late . eli : well , i hope not . look , if you 're in trouble , i want to help . sheila : you mean it ? eli : i may not be able to be there for russell anymore . but i can still be there for you . i want to . sheila : all right . bonnie : you do n't really think you 've seen the last of bonnie lockhart , do you ? do n't worry , salem , i 'll be back . adrienne : what 's taking so long ? steve : hey . adrienne : what happened ? steve : dr. thompson sent the dna samples out . kayla : so now we just have to wait for those medical records to show up , which should be any minute . adrienne : can i go ? steve : not until we get the results back . justin : and how long will that take ? kayla : well , dna tests can take 12 to 24 hours to get back . adrienne : 12 to 24 ? justin : steve , i told her that she 'd be out tonight . i mean , what if the other inmates get wind that she 's not lockhart ? steve : do n't worry ! i 've made sure you have your own private bodyguard . hattie : do n't you worry , honey . nobody 's gon na mess with you . not while hattie adams is on the job . hope : according to this bank register , rolf 's frequently been receiving large payments that were being deposited into a foreign bank account monthly . is this enough to find out who was making these payments ? lani : should be . but it 's gon na take time , and we 'll probably have to jump through hoops to get clearance . jj : but if we follow the money , i think we 'll be a step closer to finding out who he was working for . hope : and if will really is alive . | hope , lani , and jj investigated rolf 's room . they were searching his room for information about will . eli explained to gabi how he met sheila . sheila stopped bonnie from leaving salem . sheila reminded bonnie that she wanted her money . justin saved adrienne from the guard . steve and kayla tried to convince the warden that adrienne was the wrong person in prison . the warden did n't believe them . steve told him that hattie could prove it . when hattie told the warden what happened , he did n't believe it . kayla had an idea to prove that they were telling the truth . bonnie told sheila to get away while she still could . sheila said she did n't have any money to get away . sheila regretted not listening to adrienne . eli told gabi how sheila was set up because of him . kayla told the warden that she could do a dna test on steve and adrienne . the warden allowed it to happen . he said adrienne was n't leaving the prison until bonnie was there . justin told adrienne that she could n't leave until steve and kayla proved that bonnie was missing . | <s>[INST] jj : hey , we heard sami brady was brought in . you had her arrested ? lani : do n't tell me she -- hope : no . no , but she did grab my gun . and she held rolf at gunpoint , demanding he tell her where will was being held . jj : so it 's true ? will 's really alive ? hope : rolf claimed that -- well , claimed that he attempted to revive will in the morgue . yet he never did confirm that he succeeded . jj : under whose orders did he make that attempt ? hope : that 's a good question . he insisted he was n't working for stefano . but unfortunately , he bit down on a cyanide pill and died before i was able to get more out of him . jj : i do n't believe this . hope : i know . listen , i need you two to assist the csis in combing the room for clues , okay ? i need to know who rolf was working for . any hope we have of finding out the truth about will depends on it . gabi : you changed the subject the last time we ran into sheila . so , what , there 's some bad history there ? eli : yeah . gabi : but you do n't want to talk about it ... and i agreed to stay out of your business . so forget i asked . eli : no . it 's time i told somebody what happened between sheila and me . truth is , we used to be pretty tight . gabi : was she your girlfriend ? eli : she was a lot more than that . bonnie : i need a taxi ... like yesterday . no , i 'll tell the driver once he gets here , all right ? yes , i 'm going out of town . far out of town . sheila : you better cancel that cab , 'cause you ai n't going nowhere . and besides , i thought we had a deal . i keep your secret that you 're really not adrienne , and you thank me by paying me cold , hard cash . bonnie : are you kidding me right now ? you were there ! you saw me get busted . and now i got the whole kiriakis greek chorus after me ! if i do n't get out of town right now , i am gon na end up back at statesville . and you better pray , sweetheart , i do n't take you with me . sheila : so what 's that , a threat ? smith : you 're saying lockhart had a look - alike ? steve : who happens to be my sister adrienne . she was brought in here to take lockhart 's place . smith : look , i get that you 're a former colleague of the doctor who runs our infirmary -- well respected and all -- but just how stupid do you think i am ? kayla : we do n't think you 're stupid -- bonnie lockhart is in cellblock c , most likely causing trouble that 'll get her thrown back into solitary . steve : that 's not bonnie ! that 's my sister ! bonnie lockhart escaped from here and put adrienne johnson kiriakis in her place ! smith : prove it . adrienne : [ sobbing ] oh , justin . oh , god ! it was so awful . i was so afraid . i was so scared i would never see you or anybody ever again . justin : it 's over now , okay ? sweetheart , it 's over . it 's over . i 'm gon na take you home . it 's all over . adrienne : [ sobs ] home ... home ... justin : sweetheart . adrienne : [ sobs ] it 's over ... justin : yeah , it 's over . adrienne : it 's over . justin : it 's over . adrienne : you saved me . you saved me . oh , my god , you saved me . time 's up . adrienne : oh , no . no . back to solitary . justin : you 're not taking her anywhere ! male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] i 've been nice up until now . but i 'm about to throw you out of this place . justin : you do that , and i 'll see you not only lose your job , but i will sue you and this entire institution ! we 'll see what my supervisor says , hotshot . justin : you do that . i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . adrienne : oh , god , do you think i care about him ? oh , my god , justin , i ca n't believe you 're here . i ca n't believe my prayers have been answered . justin : i know , i know . you 're safe now . you 're safe now . this nightmare is over , baby . nightmare 's over . adrienne : oh , i hope so . justin : once steve and kayla finish explaining to the warden , you 're finally gon na be free . adrienne : free . justin : yeah . adrienne : oh , my god . free . free . smith : even you have to admit , this is hard to swallow . steve : if you do n't believe us , ask bonnie . i 'm sure the salem pd has her in custody by now . kayla : actually , they don't . according to maggie 's text , she got away and made a run for it . smith : huh . is n't that convenient ? steve : listen . all you have to do is take my sister 's fingerprints . i guarantee they wo n't match the ones you have on lockhart . smith : this is a correctional facility , not a police station . we do n't take prints here . steve : so take her down to the station ; have them done there . smith : she 's not going anywhere . not as long as my inmate count checks out and no one 's missing . steve : how about we give you a firsthand account of what went down ? smith : from who ? the so - called sister you say is n't lockhart ? steve : no . from another inmate . hattie adams . jj : whoever rolf was working for must 've been pretty dangerous . lani : why else would he take his own life rather than expose the boss ? hope : hopefully we 'll find something solid enough in this room that will lead us to whoever that is . got a minute , commissioner ? hope : yeah . be right back . what do you got ? lani : i still ca n't believe sami flipped out and held rolf at gunpoint like she did . jj : i get it . the guy took her son away . it 's hard not to go to that place when someone threatens the people you love . lani : that 's weird . jj : what 's weird ? lani : the bag is empty , but i still hear something moving . jj : sure you did n't miss a pocket ? lani : i do n't see an opening . but maybe i 'm not supposed to . bingo . gabi : `` a lot more than your girlfriend `` ? i do n't understand ... eli : sheila was like a sister to me . she and her brother russell and i , we grew up together . gabi : in baltimore , right ? eli : yeah . my mom worked at the county hospital . we lived in a nearby neighborhood . gabi : that 's where you met them ? eli : yeah . my mom worked pretty long hours , and i sorta got caught up in the latchkey gang after school and in the summertime . gabi : wow , so you were pretty much on your own ? no adult supervision ? eli : [ laughs ] which was cool at first . i mean , we had some good times . hanging out at the park ; playing stick ball ; kicking it at the city pool . things just changed when we got older -- as they usually do . gabi : how did they change ? eli : there was a couple incidents . i did some stupid stuff , and i got in trouble with the cops . gabi : this `` trouble , `` does it involve sheila and russell ? eli : yeah , it does . sheila : look , bitch , i 'm tired of being strung along . it 's bad enough i had to pretend to be the maid , and dust those stupid figurines -- bonnie : pretend is right . i did all the work ! all you did was wear the uniform . sheila : [ scoffs ] you need to be lucky i did that ! and that snooty butler henderson still has n't paid me . and the only reason i ai n't trip and make a fuss about it is because i figured with you marrying the old man , my payday would be any day now . bonnie : yeah , well , that 's what i figured too . now we 're both in the same boat . sheila : uh , no , we 're not . because you 're gon na get my money . and you 're gon na make sure of it . bonnie : oh , and just how do you expect me to do that ? sheila : i do n't know . but you sure as hell better figure it out because i 'm flat broke . and if you think i 'm leaving salem by letting you off the hook , you 're dead wrong ! so i want what you promised , and i want it now ! adrienne : thank you . oh , my god . you do n't know what it 's been like in here . when i first got here , they threw me in solitary . i do n't know . maybe it was better . i mean , at least i did n't get my butt kicked , right ? but they would n't even let me make a phone call . and then when hattie let me use her phone card , i called you . i just thought it was my last hope . justin : i did n't get a call . adrienne : no , i know . bonnie answered the phone . i guess she recognized the number . i mean , and i tried to scare her into giving up , but she just hung up on me . justin : i 'm so sorry . adrienne : no , justin , it was n't you . then i tried to call lucas , and all he did was yell at me . i mean , he told me that he did n't want to hear a word out of my mouth and that i was nothing but a liar . i mean , i honestly , i ca n't blame him . i mean , he does n't know that it was bonnie that broke up with him , not me . but -- but still , he was so angry . and he did n't even sound like himself . justin : yeah . he isn't . adrienne : what do you mean ? justin : lucas is drinking again . he relapsed after ... bonnie and i got back together . adrienne : oh , god , no ! justin : maggie and jennifer and kate , they all tried to help him . they staged an intervention . they begged him to go into rehab . and basically he just told them to go to hell . i 'm sorry . adrienne : after all those years of sobriety ... god -- damn that bonnie lockhart for doing this to him ! justin : actually , it 's just more than that . i mean , lucas 's drinking is n't just about you -- adrienne : what ? justin , tell me . justin : it 's about will . smith : what 's adams got to do with this ? [ knock at door ] steve : you 're about to find out . smith : come in . hattie : warden smith ? oh ! oh ! hey , look . look . i -- i did n't do anything wrong . you know ? [ stammers ] please . the truth is that -- that -- as soon as you left , i gave her my phone card so she could call and let people know she was here . smith : what are you talking about ? steve : hattie , just calm down and tell the warden how my sister ended up in here . kayla : please , hattie . we need to know . hattie : well , see , it was all 'cause of a woman named anjelica deveraux . so the back door of the kitchen was left open , and that was -- that was when the switch happened and bonnie became adrienne and adrienne became bonnie . steve : so now you know . smith : quite a story . steve : it 's amazing we figured it all out , huh ? smith : oh , `` amazing 's `` the word , all right . lies . deception . dopplegangers . steve : it 's all true . smith : next you 'll be telling me that the devil made you do it . hattie : well , i mean , anj was n't any angel , but , boy , if she got -- if she got cross with you , she could sure let you have it . smith : and where is this criminal mastermind now ? both : she 's dead . smith : oh , that 's it . this meeting is over . steve : come on . you just heard the whole story ! smith : and i do n't believe a damn word of it . steve : maybe you do n't want to believe it because it makes it look like you fell down on the job ! kayla : you know what ? i would n't believe it either . i mean , the story is a little over the top . but it is true . smith : well , i 'm having a hard time buying that . kayla : i understand that . but i think i know how we can settle this once and for all . hope : any luck ? jj : no , it 's password - protected . hope : yeah , of course it is . all right , i 'm gon na call the tech lab down at the station , see if anyone knows how to bypass the lock . in the meantime , keep working on it , okay ? lani : do you have any clue how to crack the code ? jj : i had a friend at salem u -- jason -- used his own phone to crack into other people 's clouds . if we can get into rolf 's cloud the same way , we might be able to remotely change the password to the tablet . bonnie : look , sheila , i 'm trying to protect you here , all right ? no one has put together that you and i are accomplices yet . so why do n't you just roll on to greener pastures while you still can , all right ? sheila : great idea ! except for there 's no green . and i ca n't go anywhere without it . bonnie : [ sighs ] really ? you 're not gon na let this go , are you ? sheila : no , because the ticket the prison gave me i used that to get to salem . and the money i scraped together is gone now . bonnie : what about the benjamins i just gave you for the wedding that did n't happen ? you do n't seem to get it . i ran out of that mansion with nothing but the clothes on my back . i do n't even know how i 'm gon na pay for the cab i just called to get me the hell out of dodge ! sheila : i should 've helped adrienne when i had the chance . 'cause she said you would stiff me . bonnie : you know , but i did n't want this to blow up in my face any more than you did , all right ? i mean , come on . do n't you have a friend somewhere who can help you ? sheila : i thought i did , but i was wrong . no , i don't . gabi : just how `` stupid `` were these things you did with sheila and her brother ? eli : nothing major . i mean , at least not by street standards -- shoplifting , vandalism . mainly just to see -- just to see who had the guts to go through with it . gabi : did your mom know about it ? eli : she had her suspicions . yeah , she was not about to let that happen . she , um ... she scared the hell out of me . the cops , on the other hand , they scared me straight . but my mom was no joke . she , um ... she ordered me to stay away from sheila and russell . gabi : did you ? stay away ? eli : yeah . i did . then a couple months later , she got transferred to another hospital . you know , i still think that she put in on that just to get me away from those two . gabi : so what happened to sheila and her brother ? eli : i went to say goodbye before we left . and i found out that they had moved on from petty theft to dealing drugs . gabi : and were they eventually arrested ? eli : yeah . by me . kayla : if i could just get some swabs from dr . thompson , i could take a dna samples from steve and adrienne , and not only would it prove that they are related , but that the woman in there is not bonnie lockhart . smith : we do n't have a lab here either . kayla : well , dr . thompson can send them to whatever lab he chooses , at no cost to the prison . and i will authorize clearance for you and dr . thompson to review adrienne 's medical records . smith : why would i need to see them ? kayla : because they will show that adrienne had a double mastectomy , reconstructive surgery , and is in remission for breast cancer . that is a condition that bonnie could n't fake if she tried . smith : i 'll allow it . kayla : thank you . smith : do n't thank me just yet . if the woman i believe is lockhart does turn out to be your sister , i still have a missing inmate . steve : well , is n't that your problem ? smith : actually , it 's yours . unless you can find me the other bonnie lockhart , the woman in cellblock c is n't going anywhere . adrienne : poor sonny . i mean , come on . he finally finds someone who 's gon na make him happy , and then that maniac walks in and tells him will 's still alive ? justin : our son is stronger than even he knows . but obviously it 's been very hard on him . adrienne : do you think it 's possible -- i mean , come on , do you think will is -- justin : yeah , i did n't think so at first . once we heard from clyde weston who heard it from dr . rolf himself . adrienne : stefano 's rolf ? justin : yeah , and considering he has brought people back to life before , the salem pd thinks it 's worth checking out . adrienne : i need to see my son . he needs me . lucas needs me too . i ca n't believe i have n't been there for them , justin . justin : sweetheart , you 'll see them soon enough , okay ? but again , you 're not going anywhere until steve and kayla straighten things out with the warden . adrienne : i know . i just -- justin : and since we 're stuck here waiting , there 's something that i 'd like to straighten out myself -- namely , what that kiss was about . jj : so , i was right -- the user i d for rolf 's cloud is his email address . lani : well , hopefully , these stats will help figure out his password . jj : i 'm a try his birthday first . lani : if that does n't work , try birth place or his mother 's maiden name , the year he graduated med school . where he went to med school -- jj : can you just give me a second to try one of them ? lani : you know , this kind of reminds me of that time we were stuck on the plane in greece together . jj : [ laughs ] right . when everyone else got to go after xander and we were ordered to hold down the fort . lani : it was n't that bad . it was kind of romantic , thanks to you . check this out . jj : all of that is just right outside these windows . lani : or it could be right here , inside . jj : i think i see where you 're going with this . lani : we are in one of the most beautiful places on the earth . let 's use our imaginations . jj : oh , i can do that . lani : [ laughs ] [ greek music ] [ laughs ] jj : oh , i ca n't wait till we can go on a romantic adventure without any work involved . no bad guys , no amulets . lani : i 'm with you on that . [ phone beeps ] are we in ? jj : we 've been locked out ! hope : what happened ? jj : damn ! three failed attempts , now i 'm locked out permanently . hope : well , i just talked to the tech lab . they said to bring it in , they 'll take a shot at it . jj : you know , maybe they do n't have to . hey , guys , hold on . will you hold up ? lani : what are you doing ? jj : there might be another way to crack the code . we just need some help from the good doctor himself . gabi : so you arrested sheila and her brother ? eli : yeah , i did . and they were sent to prison . gabi : yeah , but , you know , you did n't do anything wrong . they were dealing drugs . you were just doing your job , right ? eli : it was -- it was a little bit more than that . gabi : go on . eli : when i got assigned to the fbi , i got assigned to a case involving this drug kingpin out of chicago . the bureau was trying to crack down hard on this guy . i figured i 'd go undercover and infiltrate the worker bees . gabi : okay . eli : anyway , when i got the file , there were mug shots of sheila and russell . gabi : so they left baltimore ? eli : yeah . not long after i did . and they were pretty high up in the chicago drug ring . so i offered to go undercover , and i did n't tell any of the higher- ups that i knew some of the key players . gabi : in other words , you used your friendship with sheila and russell to infiltrate the crew and break up the drug ring . eli : they trusted me , and i threw them under the bus to advance my own career . i got a promotion , and they were sent to prison . sheila : i thought we were friends . bonnie : we are , sheila . i 'm talking about someone who 's liquid enough to float you a loan . sheila : well , do n't you have someone who can float you some dough ? like the daughter you took that murder rap for ? yeah , she owes you big - time . bonnie : my daughter mimi she does owe me big - time . the problem is , she 's not taking my calls . sheila : [ scoffs ] hell , at this point , i 'll take whatever you have on you . bonnie : how many times do i have to tell you ? i got nothing ! not one red cent . sheila : well , i 'll take that . bonnie : my pin ? sheila : yeah , i mean , it ai n't my taste . but i remember you going on and on about how priceless -- bonnie : you ca n't have this ! this is all i have left of my mickey . are you kidding me ? adrienne : kiss . it just sort of -- justin : happened . adrienne : yeah . justin : for me too . steve : there she is ! [ all talking at once ] adrienne : steve ! thank god ! steve : let me look at you . you all right ? no one hurt you , did they ? adrienne : no one hurt me . oh , my god , i ca n't believe i 'm looking at you guys . kayla : let me in . let me in . hi , baby . oh , my gosh . so good to see you . adrienne : oh , my god . i ca n't believe i 'm looking at you guys . i missed you so much . oh , my god . and joey , my sweet nephew . oh , my god , i kept remembering how he was kidnapped by orpheus ... and i kept trying to , you know , channel him , 'cause he was so co -- what ? oh , my god , is joey okay ? steve : we can talk about it later . adrienne : no ! we 're gon na talk about it now . what ? what ? kayla : joey 's in prison -- adrienne : what ? steve : for killing ava . adrienne : what ? i thought you -- steve : i was covering for him . and once tripp came into the picture , he could n't handle the guilt anymore . he needed to turn himself in . adrienne : i ca n't believe i was n't there for him . and sonny and lucas and everybody else . kayla : it 's all right . you know what ? we all understand . we do . we understand . adrienne : i hate it ! i hate it . ohn 's disease . hope : think this 'll work ? jj : we 've got nothing to lose at this point . lani : i think it 's brilliant . jj : all right , now that i 've imprinted rolf 's fingerprint on the adhesive , we should be able to use it to access the tablet . we 're in ! lani : you did it ! hope : see anything ? jj : i see a lot . unfortunately , i do n't have any idea what it means . lani : it looks like rolf was heavy into algorithms and formulas . who knew we had another einstein on our hands ? hope : more like dr . frankenstein . i do n't see anything here that 's gon na help us . but that might . eli : when i first ran into sheila and told her i 'd been fired from the fbi , she said she was glad to know that there was still some justice in this world . gabi : guess you ca n't blame her . eli : i don't . in fact , i took losing my job at the fbi as karmic payback . gabi : but you know what ? it was n't like they were innocent , all right ? had you not arrested them , another agent would 've showed up and broken up that drug ring . eli : another agent would n't have made the pact the three of us did as kids -- to always have each other 's back , no matter what . gabi : okay , i get that . but sheila is free now . and she can move on with her life . and so can her brother . eli : no , he can't . gabi : why not ? what happened ? eli : a member from an opposing gang attacked him in prison . he died . gabi : oh my god . eli : if i had n't stabbed my friends in the back , russell might still be here today . sheila : you 're a real piece of work , you know that ? bonnie : sheila , you do n't understand , all right ? mickey gave this to me as a symbol of our love . sheila : i thought it belonged to maggie . bonnie : well , yeah , it did at first . but when mickey thought that maggie had been killed by that serial killer , he gave it to me . and i remember seeing it in old red 's jewelry box . i mean , it was like mickey was calling out to me , you know ? sheila : maybe he was calling , `` give it back . `` bonnie : it 's not funny . look , i may not have got my revenge on maggie , but at least i got back the one -- the one thing that mickey gave me . sheila : and now you gon na give it to me . come on . give it to me . bonnie : all right , okay . give me a sec . here . but seriously , have n't you ever lost someone and wished you had one special thing to remember them by ? kayla : we got you , baby . we got you . adrienne : i just need to be able to make up for lost time now . be there for people even more than ever . steve : we 're just so happy to have you back , baby sister . adrienne : [ sobs ] justin : so what did the warden say ? when is she gon na be released ? kayla : well , we 've run into a little bit of a snag . justin : do n't tell me -- steve : yeah , bonnie got away . adrienne : what ? justin : how ? when i left , she was surrounded -- kayla : well , she saw an opening and she took it . brady went after her but he lost her . justin : okay , but to prove that she 's not bonnie , ca n't we just run adrienne 's prints -- steve : the warden refused to do that . both : what ? justin : i 'm gon na go talk to him . steve : no , no , you do n't have to do that . kayla came up with an idea to put everyone 's doubts to rest . justin : okay , i 'm listening . kayla : well , first off , i 've ordered your medical records . i want to show the warden all the things that you went through the past year and let him see that there 's no way that bonnie could have gone through those things while she was locked up . adrienne : right ? kayla : right . the next thing i 'm gon na do is swab both you and steve for your dna to prove that you are related . steve : we 'll send the swabs to the infirmary ; dr . thompson will send them out to the lab for results . adrienne : what are you waiting for ? swab . kayla : okay , all right . steve : hold on just a little bit longer , babe ? adrienne : oh , my god , i waited this long , have n't i ? just do n't let him put me back in solitary , please . justin : do n't you worry . do n't you worry . i 'm not letting you out of my sight . oh , god . thank you . thank you all . and now , i help people find discounts , kayla : just got ta get this off to dr . thompson send off . adrienne : no , wait . kayla : okay , group hug . one more hug . okay . you 're gon na be okay . kayla : stay strong , all right ? we 'll be right back . adrienne : hurry , please . hurry . steve : we 'll hurry . kayla : take care , would you ? adrienne : oh , my god . justin : wo n't be much longer . adrienne : i 'm gon na hold you to that . justin : i 'm so sorry for what anjelica put you through . so sorry . adrienne : all because she was obsessed with you . ca n't imagine why . justin , about that kiss -- justin : it was just an emotional moment . adrienne : yeah , it was . justin : i was relieved to finally find you . adrienne : and i was relieved to be found . justin : right . i mean , i know it did n't mean any more than that . i 'm not deluding myself . i know that soon you and lucas ... adrienne : poor lucas . oh , my god , i ca n't imagine what he 's going through . i mean , after finally accepting that his son was gone -- to find out that he might still be alive ? my god . justin : it 's been hard on everyone who cared about will . eli : i 'm sorry . you do n't need to hear all this . it 's not like you 're not going through enough already . gabi : stop . i needed a distraction . and you needed to talk about this . eli : i guess . although it sure as hell ai n't gon na change anything . gabi : okay , eli , listen to me . look at me . hey . you losing your job at the fbi , it was not payback for what you did . you made a mistake , that 's it . you never wanted to hurt anyone . eli : the thing is -- is that even when i had the chance to make it right , i -- never mind . gabi : what ? say it . eli : sheila 's in trouble again . gabi : that 's why she came to talk to you before ? eli : she asked me to help her , and i turned her down . the look that she gave me -- it was the same look it was the same look she gave me when they sent her away . gabi : why did n't you help her ? eli : but i just got hired at the salem pd . i mean , i wanted to , but -- again , i was scared to cross the line . gabi : what would that kid in baltimore have done ? eli : he would 've helped her , no questions asked . gabi : you 'll get another chance to make things right . eli : i hope so . hey , thanks for letting me get that off my chest . i guess now you know what type of guy i am . gabi : a great guy . with a great heart . but i mean , i already knew that , so ... sheila : hey , lockhart . catch . bonnie : what ?

[ scene_break ] nicole : why are you so worried about vivian ? she 's gon na wait to tell ej about us , do n't you think ? she 's not gon na show him those pictures now . especially after what happened to johnny . brady : you really think vivian has a heart ? nicole : no . but i think she knows that ej wo n't hear her . he 'd hang up on her if she tried to call . he 's slam the door in her face if she tried to see him . brady : you sure about this ? nicole : yeah . i know ej . i mean , he 's heard enough to know that she 's a scheming liar . and he would totally think those pictures are doctored . so that gives us time to ... figure things out . time to , uh ...

[ scene_break ] daniel : mm . chloe : look , if you want to go back and figure out what happened , we can do that , okay ? daniel : let 's do it . okay ? chloe : after my hysterical pregnancy , i was n't in my right mind . and i knew i was n't . but you were all about melanie and carly having a new daughter . daniel : oh , right , okay , yeah , let 's just blame me . chloe : no , i 'm not trying to do that . not at all . i 'm just trying to explain to you -- daniel : explain what ? you felt threatened and insecure because carly and i share a daughter . and , of course , the only way for you to comfort yourself is to have sex with another man , right ? but not just any man . no . no . `` how could i best act out this resentment i feel towards daniel for being happy about something that does n't directly involve me ? oh , i know , i 'll have sex with his daughter 's husband ! `` there 's an idea . chloe : it 's not that i resented your having a daughter . you know -- daniel : how would i know that ? how ? chloe : it was vivian . she paid those guys to make me believe that you were sleeping with carly . i was sure that you two were having an affair . i was tricked , daniel . you know i was . say something , please . tell me you understand that i was led to believe that you were sneaking off with carly . daniel : you were supposed to believe in me . in me . and i do know , yeah , you were tricked . chloe : then is there any way somehow that you can ever find it in your heart to forgive me ? daniel : um ... um ... chloe : why are n't you saying anything ? daniel : i do n't know . i just keep going back on , uh ... all the times that , uh ... the wedding was on , it was off . is that because you were waiting for a paternity test ? chloe : no . it was because carly was determined to tell you about my mistake . and i was trying to talk her out of it . that 's why i postponed the wedding . when i found out that i was going to have a baby , she agreed to keep my secret if the baby was yours because she knew how much i love you . and she did n't think it was worth hurting you that much when it was just that one - time , stupid , awful mistake . daniel : i see . and did you happen to confide your one - time , stupid , awful mistake to father matt ? is that why he was reluctant to marry us ? chloe : yeah . daniel : yeah . and nicole . and obviously you must 've confided in your -- in your best friend . chloe : i did . daniel : you did ? so all these people knew of this terrible thing you had done , and they kept it from me .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i ran into brenda at my old apartment . it was by chance that we ended up there , or whatever you want to call it . it gave us a chance to , um , talk things out . and we came to the conclusion that if we 're gon na make this work , we got ta be honest with each other , so that 's when she told me what she was hiding . i know all about her killing the balkan 's son and you covering it up .

[ scene_break ] dante : i drove out to jersey , i dumped the body in a swamp . they recovered it 6 months ago . lucky : if brenda shot this guy in self - defense , why the cover - up ? dante : because if i filed a report , the balkan would find out that brenda killed his son , she 'd be a target , he 'd come after her , just like he is now . jason : at least you gave brenda 3 years of peace . dante : if you can call it that . she was safe , but she still had to live with the fact that she killed somebody . lucky : if she had n't shot aleksander , you 'd be dead . you both did what you had to do . dante : well , the department , i do n't think , is gon na see it that way . lucky : screw the department . you were assigned to protect brenda and that 's what you did . dante : yeah . i broke a hell of a lot of boundaries in the process . lucky : well , mac wo n't be hearing about it from me . dante : it 's actually carly i 'm more worried about . she thinks we 're hiding something , an affair . if she keeps digging , she 's gon na find the truth . lucky : yeah . it 's almost impossible to keep carly quiet . can you do something about that ? jason : i 'm trying , but right now the bigger threat is the balkan . dante : okay , look , the balkan started coming after brenda after his son 's body was found , so prior to that , it does n't sound like he knew that he was dead or much less how it even happened . lucky : so what put the balkan on brenda 's trail , then ? jason : brenda was involved with aleksander at the time he disappeared . now , the balkan may not think that brenda was the one who killed his son , but he 's counting on the fact that she knows who did .

[ scene_break ] dante : hey . jason : okay . lucky : hey . sam : hey . lucky : where 's spinelli ? jason : he 's at home in case brenda needs him . lucky : why would brenda -- jason : please do n't ask . sam : because spinelli is madly in love with brenda , and he 'll do anything for her . he 's falling all over himself and buying scented candles and going shopping for -- dante : that 's great . that 's gon na keep her alive . sam : yeah . dante : we need to make sure the balkan does n't come after her again . is there any way we can pull up the phone records ? sam : i 'm logged in already , but i only know how to do my case files . i do n't know -- lucky : mind if i give it a try ? i 'm pretty good with computers . jason : i 'll just call spinelli and get him down here . he needs the work , anyway . lucky : you know what ? i 'm already logged in . spinelli 's been thorough , as usual . he logged the contents of every call , but there are no calls to anyone with the name john or jack .

[ sighs ] i want to ... uh ... okay . you know what ? it would be better if i waited alone . spinelli : well , the divine one 's delay has afforded us the opportunity to have a vital conversation . sonny : it would be better if we did n't have a conversation . spinelli : i 'm sorry , but i must respectfully insist . [ sonny laughs ] spinelli : i have -- i have become dear friends with the divine one , and i know that she is concerned that mr. sir will once again break her still fragile heart . and to that end ... i need to know the nature of your intentions . sonny : what are you asking me ? spinelli : are you out to bed brenda , only to leave her fl as you have done so many others ? [ scene_break ] robin : no , that 's okay . i think i can find a home but thanks . bye . patrick : hey . so it 's true ? you 're going home ? robin : yeah . dr. lithgow did another series of tests and everything seems to be normal . so , i 'm finally set to go home . patrick : well , that 's great news . emma 's gon na be excited to have you back . robin : yeah . i mean , between the infection and the burn , i was honestly prepared to stay longer . so ... patrick : listen , i know it might be a little bit -- a little much to ask , but i was hoping maybe i could drive you home and just help you and emma get settled in . i wo n't stay long . i 'll just -- robin : i think that would -- patrick : i just want to make sure you guys get home safe . and i want to stop by the store and fill up the fridge with your favorites , because i know it 's been a while and i just want to make sure that you guys -- robin : patrick , why are you trying so hard to convince me ? i was saying yes . thank you . [ scene_break ] lisa : so ... oh , nikolas , wait . nikolas : hey . lisa : thank you again so much for going with me to see robin . nikolas : you 're welcome . lisa : i 'm sorry you had to witness all that . nikolas : all right . she certainly unloaded on you , did n't she ? lisa : yeah . nikolas : she 's not very objective when it comes to you . she took your little remark about the house burning down completely out of context . she saw it as a threat . lisa : wow . well , that 's actually not surprising , 'cause she 's been volatile all along . nikolas : i think you should just keep your distance , for your sake as well as hers . lisa : you 're the first person to actually acknowledge that i have something at stake here , too . you know , if robin keeps up with these baseless accusations , i could lose my career . nikolas : well , i would certainly hate to see that happen . you 're a talented doctor . we could use more of you around here . lisa : thank you . okay . oh . hi . april : they said i can go home . lisa : yeah . your x - ray showed no broken bones . but you need to take it easy for a few days , okay ? so , cheerleading is out of the question for a few days . got it ? april : not a problem . i do not want to see ashley , anyway . lisa : hey , one more thing . uh , that website that you mentioned earlier -- can anybody upload a story ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the divine one is a delicate being . sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : she deserves to be treated with the utmost respect . sonny : you do n't think i respect brenda ? spinelli : well ... sonny : hmm ? spinelli : mr. sir can be overwhelming at times , perhaps coming on a bit strong for the divine one 's current level of comfort . sonny : right . spinelli : it is imperative that you let her set the pace for the relationship . do n't push her into anything she 's not ready for , be it emotional or ... physical . [ sonny gasps ] spinelli : and if ... if intimacy does transpire ... sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : i would sincerely hope that mr. sir would take the necessary precautions ... sonny : mm - hmm . spinelli : and keep in mind that while it is easy to get caught up in the moment ... sex implies a deep trust and , dare i say , love . and the divine one deserves all of mr. sir 's devotion . and you should be prepared to act accordingly . sonny : you done ? okay , let me make myself clear . you 're telling me how to treat a woman that i loved for years and i almost married . is -- is that what ... spinelli : the jackal is aware of the pain of getting one 's heart thrown in a blender and shredded , as it were , by someone who goes into things with only the best intentions . so , if i can spare the divine one even an ounce of that anguish ... it is worth risking mr. sir 's wrath . sonny : okay . all right . let me give you something here , okay ? it 's very nice that you 're brenda 's good friend . and i 'll tell you what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na be very careful with brenda .

[ scene_break ] lisa : all right ... uh ... um , okay , well , i -- i guess you could say i am the other woman . i fell in love with a married man . only he was n't married when we first met . [ scene_break ] dante : i drove out to jersey , i dumped the body in a swamp . they recovered it 6 months ago . lucky : if brenda shot this guy in self - defense , why the cover - up ? dante : because if i filed a report , the balkan would find out that brenda killed his son , she 'd be a target , he 'd come after her , just like he is now . jason : at least you gave brenda 3 years of peace . dante : if you can call it that . she was safe , but she still had to live with the fact that she killed somebody . lucky : if she had n't shot aleksander , you 'd be dead . you both did what you had to do . dante : well , the department , i do n't think , is gon na see it that way . lucky : screw the department . you were assigned to protect brenda and that 's what you did . dante : yeah . i broke a hell of a lot of boundaries in the process . lucky : well , mac wo n't be hearing about it from me . dante : it 's actually carly i 'm more worried about . she thinks we 're hiding something , an affair . if she keeps digging , she 's gon na find the truth . lucky : yeah . it 's almost impossible to keep carly quiet . can you do something about that ? jason : i 'm trying , but right now the bigger threat is the balkan . dante : okay , look , the balkan started coming after brenda after his son 's body was found , so prior to that , it does n't sound like he knew that he was dead or much less how it even happened . lucky : so what put the balkan on brenda 's trail , then ? jason : brenda was involved with aleksander at the time he disappeared . now , the balkan may not think that brenda was the one who killed his son , but he 's counting on the fact that she knows who did .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : i assume the date will involve a meal of some sort ? sonny : uh , yeah . that 's what usually happens when you invite somebody out to have dinner . spinelli : are you planning on preparing one of your signature pasta dishes for the divine one , or ... patronizing a particular establishment ? sonny : i know what i 'm doing . i know what i 'm gon na plan . it 's all right . you do n't have to tell me -- spinelli : i just -- mr . sir is a frequent target of violence , and since the divine one is a target as well , does that not in fact double the risk if you were to go out together ? perhaps -- perhaps you 'd enjoy staying in . the jackal would be happy to prepare a healthy repast for the both of you . sonny : we do n't need a chaperone , um , spinelli . spinelli : okay , well , if privacy is what you prefer , i mean , i could just retire to -- to the confines of the weight room . sonny : [ laughs ] lift weights ? brenda : hi . spinelli : hi . brenda : hi . sonny : you look -- you look great . brenda : thanks . sonny : you ready to go ? brenda : uh , yeah . oh , i just need to grab my jacket . sonny : i 'll get that for you . spinelli : i -- sonny : do n't do that . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i -- i -- i must protest . sonny : this -- spinelli : the divine one can not -- you can not risk life and limb , as well as your emotional well - being , to go out on a date with mr. sir . you have to cut this off bef -- you have to cut this off while you still draw breath .

is that all right ? reva : i think the real question is going to be whether it 's all right with them . um ... hi . can i have you attention please ? this is what 's going on at the moment . we 've decided to go ahead and go live with the show . even though the bomb before that was set off was a scare tactic , the police ca n't guarantee that there 's not another bomb somewhere in the building , and they also ca n't guarantee your safety anymore , so they 'd like you to leave -- if you want to . gus : it 's not up to them . reva : yes . gus : no , it 's not . reva : yes , it is . and if you do choose to leave , then josh and i totally understand . and you can leave with our blessing , but if you do choose to stay , i strongly believe that this is going to send this stalker a signal that we are a whole lot more determined than he is . tony : i 'm staying . marah : me , too . i 'm staying . shayne : so , am i . ray : my little brother is staying , the least i can do is keep him company . maybe say a prayer or two . reva : thanks , father . billy : reva , we definitely need to show this lowlife that no little - bitty bomb is going to scare away a lewis . i 'm with you . bill : count me in , too . michelle : i am going to stay right here with you . danny : reva , you got another santos in your camp . michelle : i 'm going to stay , dad . ed : i 'm going to stay , too . for holly , for nothing else . you can add two bauer 's to the list . rick : make it three . mel : four . beth : well , it looks like this is the place to be . you can count me in , reva . reva : thanks , beth . ross : reva , blake and i are definitely staying . buzz : well , that leaves us cooper 's , and i hate to be out of the loop . i 'm staying . you 're going home . marina : no , i 'm not . buzz : yes , you are . frank : actually , yes , she is . marina : uh , no , uh , no ... frank : you 're going home . marina : i 'm not ! frank : we 're all staying .

[ scene_break ] director : we 're on in five , four , three ... reva : well , i 'm sorry that caller hung up , because what he had to say was very interesting . cassie : i 'd like to say something , reva , if i could , please ? reva : of course . this is my sister , cassie winslow . cassie : first of all , i want to say that i sympathize with the man who called in . and if you 're still listening , it is wonderful that your wife came out of her coma . that is a miracle . god knows i wish richard would 've had a miracle of his own , because he deserved one . but he is at peace now , and he is not suffering . and knowing that , i 'm at peace . i am not angry at my sister for what she did , because i know that she did what she felt was truly right . so if the person who is stalking my sister feels that he is somehow doing this on my behalf , he 's not .

i am a lush here . ed : holly , i do n't ... holly : no , what is wrong with you people ? some mad man could have just blown up the place and you keep going on ... reva : calm down , calm down . holly : ... you keep going on with your ridiculous suspicion about me ! ross : look , look , wait a minute ! i think we should just step back and lower our voices , all right ? reva : you know what ? ross is right . come on , guys , you really ca n't think that this is still holly , right ? gus : reva , we 're just trying to do our job . reva : well , then do your job and let me do mine . i 'm not going to let this lunatic control this situation . i 'm just not going to let it happen . excuse me . can i have everyone 's attention please ? harley : what are you doing ? tell me what you 're doing ? reva : okay . i do n't know about any of you , but i 'm not going to let some phony bomb intimidate me . i came here tonight to draw certain lunatic out of the woodwork , and i intend to follow through with it . so as soon as we get everything back together technically and the police give us a thumbs - up , then we 're going to go live . it 's okay . harley : let 's talk about this . josh : reva ... reva : joshua , it 's fine . really . i promised them a live show and that 's what i want to give them . josh : reva ... reva : can everyone just stay put please ? just for a moment . gus : i had no idea . reva : look , i know that you do n't like the idea of this , joshua . gus : it 's a lousy idea , okay . it 's not going to happen . reva : says who . gus : says me . frank : actually all of us . once we 've secured the area ... reva : it 'll be secure and we can get back on schedule . frank : that 's not true , because we 're going to evacuate the entire studio . harley : reva , smoking this guy out was a great idea . it 's not going to happen now . gus : josh , will you back us up ? we talked about it . back us up . frank : well , come on , say something . josh : just ... okay , just relax . you want to go on the air ? you 're sure about that ? reva : positive . absolutely . josh : okay , let 's do it then . okay , reva 's right . okay , people , reva 's right . we quit now , the stalker wins . frank : what are you talking about ? maybe for now . but , i mean , at least everyone is safe here . josh : but for how long , frank ? look , if she does n't go on the air , this guy 's going to know he got to us . and then his next stunt may be a whole lot worse . harley : okay , okay , i 'm not saying you do n't have a point . that 's very valid . but we have a public safety issue , josh . holly : you know , there 's been a public safety issue from the start , and that did n't stop you . harley : and look what happened . despite our best efforts , we could not secure this building . holly : well , i for one am willing to risk my own safety . reva : me , too . holly : i want the show to go on . purely selfish reason . i want to clear my name , and i think this is the only way to do it . gus : i 'll tell you something . this is all based on the assumption the guy 's going to call in ... reva : yes . gus : ... tonight while you 're live . reva : yes . gus : there 's no guarantee . reva : yes , and i think there 's a better chance of that happening now . josh : i agree . reva : i mean , he knows we 're here . he knows what we 're up to , and he does n't like it . holly : and if you go on the air and challenge him ... reva : it 'll make him angry . gus : exactly . reva : and there 's a better chance he might slip up . frank : well , hold on . or set off another explosive . reva : i think it 's worth a try . josh : absolutely . holly : i do , too . reva : i mean , besides , if he calls in when holly 's here , then you all will realize that she 's innocent . harley : okay , okay . frank : sis . harley : we 've got the equipment set up , personnel is ready . i mean , the big thing for me is , i do n't think we 're going to get another shot of this . what do you think . gus : it 's your call , frank . harley : it 's your call , frank . frank : reva , that 's fine . but we 're going to clear the entire studio except for essential personnel . okay . josh , reva , holly , the crew stays . everyone else leaves , you understand . gus : is that okay with you , reva ? is that all right ? reva : i think the real question is going to be whether it 's all right with them . um ... hi . can i have you attention please ? this is what 's going on at the moment . we 've decided to go ahead and go live with the show . even though the bomb before that was set off was a scare tactic , the police ca n't guarantee that there 's not another bomb somewhere in the building , and they also ca n't guarantee your safety anymore , so they 'd like you to leave -- if you want to . gus : it 's not up to them . reva : yes . gus : no , it 's not . reva : yes , it is . and if you do choose to leave , then josh and i totally understand . and you can leave with our blessing , but if you do choose to stay , i strongly believe that this is going to send this stalker a signal that we are a whole lot more determined than he is . tony : i 'm staying . marah : me , too . i 'm staying . shayne : so , am i . ray : my little brother is staying , the least i can do is keep him company . maybe say a prayer or two . reva : thanks , father . billy : reva , we definitely need to show this lowlife that no little - bitty bomb is going to scare away a lewis . i 'm with you . bill : count me in , too . michelle : i am going to stay right here with you . danny : reva , you got another santos in your camp . michelle : i 'm going to stay , dad . ed : i 'm going to stay , too . for holly , for nothing else . you can add two bauer 's to the list . rick : make it three . mel : four . beth : well , it looks like this is the place to be . you can count me in , reva . reva : thanks , beth . ross : reva , blake and i are definitely staying . buzz : well , that leaves us cooper 's , and i hate to be out of the loop . i 'm staying . you 're going home . marina : no , i 'm not . buzz : yes , you are . frank : actually , yes , she is . marina : uh , no , uh , no ... frank : you 're going home . marina : i 'm not ! frank : we 're all staying .

[ scene_break ] ethan : back off . tracy : i 'd watch my tone if i were you . ethan : yeah , i 'd keep my hands to myself if i were you . [ tracy laughs ] tracy : that from a pickpocket . ethan : why are you here ? tracy : well , i thought i would liberate the cash that you 've been skimming from the till . perhaps i could convince you to return it to the drawer it belongs in . ethan : me and luke have an understanding . i 'm entitled to whatever i can skim . tracy : and my understanding is unless this place stays in the black , i show you the door . ethan : you 'd miss me too much if i were gone . tracy : which begs the question , how long are you planning on staying ? [ scene_break ] lulu : you know what ; i 'm going to make some calls . i 'll talk to ms. howard , and i 'll get back to you after lunch , okay ? thanks . matt : hello . is maxie here ? lulu : oh , no . matt : no ? okay , i 'll wait . she would hate to miss me . not that she would ever admit that , but -- lulu : that kind of attitude will not win you any points with maxie . matt : oh , she likes me . and as soon as she admits it , we can move on from this whole chase thing and move onto the whole fun thing . [ scene_break ] maxie : robin has always fought to stay alive , like how she dealt with her hiv . she could have given up , but she did n't . this postpartum thing has gotten her seriously messed up , and i think she needs some serious help . that 's where you come in . jason : robin has a lot of people who care about her , like you . you can tell her to go to a doctor . i 'm not that person , okay ? i ca n't do it . maxie : `` i ca n't `` ? what does that even mean , `` i ca n't `` ? jason : i went through treatment after my head injury , psychiatric as well as physical . i hated every second of it . maxie : you 're not robin . jason : that 's my point . maxie : i 'm sure you were no picnic for the doctors , either . jason : well , you know what ? the doctors always talked down to me , they thought they had all the answers . they did n't have the answers for me , so i 'm the wrong person to go tell robin what to do when it comes to this situation . maxie : after everything robin has done for you , i think she deserves more than your standard excuse for doing nothing at all . [ scene_break ] robin : was this your idea ? patrick : what if it was ? robin : why not just go all the way and have me committed ? patrick : robin , do n't be ridiculous . you had an appointment . under the circumstances , not really a good day to start playing hooky . robin : under what circumstances ? i accidentally fell off the dock last night . i do n't see why a psychiatrist is necessary right now . patrick : i want you to prove to me that you are serious about getting help . robin : is n't that between me and my doctor ? patrick : robin , for your sake , for my sake , and for emma 's sake , show up to treatment . robin : or what ? [ scene_break ] carly : jax and i want to carefully evaluate the risks . three years , five years , someone else could come up with a safer procedure . dr. hensen : of course . anything is possible , but i 'm not sure michael can wait three years . even one more year may be too long . carly : too long for what ? you said yourself that he was healthy and strong . dr. hensen : relatively . but in a recent case , a patient came out of his coma after 10 years . there had been so much atrophy that he could barely speak and was incapable of significant movement . carly : okay , michael has physical therapy three times a day , seven days a week . dr. hensen : it 's an excellent regimen . unfortunately , michael is still going to deteriorate . jax : well , let 's back up a few steps here . let 's talk about the two patients in your trail that died . dr. hensen : the two fatalities were not a result of the procedure going wrong . both patients had preexisting conditions . jax : which michael does not have . dr. hensen : which michael does not have . carly : so does that minimize the risk for my son ? jax : it sounds like it 's even more of a risk to wait . carly : yeah , i know . i just want to hear what she has to say . dr. hensen : i ca n't promise you that this procedure will be successful for michael . it 's a decision that you need to make carefully . i 'll leave you to think about it . jax : thank you . carly : did i hear her correctly ? michael 's getting worse every day ? we have to wake him up as soon as possible . [ scene_break ] jason : robin does not need another person telling her what to do . maxie : you guys loved each once . i remember . i mean , i was a little kid , but you were the one that convinced robin to go on the hiv protocol and that saved her life . jason : robin made the choice . all i did was help her get there . maxie : so help her again . please , jason , at least for emma . i mean , that little girl deserves a mom who 's not so trashed by depression , she ca n't even go near her own baby . and do n't tell me that is robin making a choice because you know she would never choose to be a lousy mother . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 'm not going to do this , robin . i 'm not going to let you make me angry in order to change the subject . robin : i 'm getting treatment . you do n't have to force me to do it . patrick : that 's great . prove to me -- prove how committed you are to our daughter , then . robin : there was an accident , but i 'm sure you 've already formed all kinds of opinions . dr. brown : well , i always formulate opinions about my patients . that 's my job . the good news is my opinions can evolve . so are we having a session or not ? robin : feels more like a witch hunt . dr. brown : i acknowledge your feelings . why do n't you tell me why you were on that pier ? robin : despite what patrick already told you , i was just on the docks to think . you know , i needed some time to think about what you and i had talked about . it was foggy and it was slippery and i fell in . he found me , and patrick pulled me out of the water . dr. brown : that was a stroke of luck . robin : yeah , i guess i should be more grateful . anyway , accidents happen and i feel better today . i woke up feeling eager to get home and get back to normal . and i also took the meds that you prescribed , see ? so can i go now ? dr. brown : you have a serious condition . you need to get serious to deal with it . normal is not an option until you address your postpartum depression . you have to work for it . it wo n't go away by itself . robin : actually , that 's not always true . i 've studied the statistics . dr. brown : there are all kinds of statistics . do you want to wait and find out which category you fall into ? robin : look , i know that i have postpartum . i know that i 've acted out in inappropriate ways . and i 'm also aware that it has affected patrick , so maybe he should also get some help . dr. brown : couples counseling is a great idea . i 'd be glad to make patrick a part of our sessions . or we can continue alone . it 's your choice . [ scene_break ] tracy : guys like you never stick around long . you 're a drifter . ethan : i prefer to think of myself as a pilgrim traveling the road of life in search of answers . tracy : and lightening the pockets of everyone you meet along the way . you 've done your damage here . is n't it time to find another flock to fleece ? ethan : these sheep still need shearing . i 've settled in . tracy : on luke 's dime . ethan : no , i like luke . i liked you , too . tracy : you do realize that people have gotten hip to you . it 's going to make port charles a lot less attractive when there 's slim pickings . ethan : ouch . are you trying to get rid of me ? tracy : can i ? what would it take to get you ease on down the road ? or should i say , how much ? ethan : i 'm not for sale at the moment . you know , i 'm more interested in seeing how things work out here . tracy : what 's so attractive to you ? ethan : you see , luke is a rare bird . we 're kindred spirits . tracy : i would n't brag about that . ethan : i have a lot to learn from him . he 's done very well for himself . his own casino , a beautiful rich wife -- who would n't want to follow in those footsteps ? lucky : mr. lovett , i need to see your visa . ethan : you 'd like that , would n't you ? lucky : yeah , we can do it here . or if you prefer , you can pass me your paperwork through a holding cell . ethan : wow . how did a man like luke end up with a son like you ? is that it ? no . lucky : i 'm not interested in what you think of me . what i want to see is your working visa , if you have one . ethan : i just knew you were going to hide behind that badge to harass me . lucky : i have n't even started . you know , i 'm not surprised you worship my father . you seem like the kind of guy who 's never met a rule he would n't break , thinks the law is for some other sucker . ethan : well , you have no appreciation for luke 's style . lucky : yeah , you know why ? i was once like you . i thought it would be great to be luke spencer . but then i grew up . ethan : and lost your sense of humor . tracy : so can we deport him ? lucky : sorry , all of his papers are in order . ethan : oh , i guess you 're going to have to find something else to badger me about . lucky : plan on it . ethan : i guess there 's a silver lining here . with a son like that , luke should appreciate me much more . tracy : take the afternoon off . ethan : that 's kind of you , but no thanks . tracy : no , no , no , it 's not kind . i 'm going to count every dollar and dime in this till and see if i need to call lucky back and have you arrested . ethan : you 'll find a discrepancy of $ 117.50 , which i paid the dishwasher repairman , $ 37 for bar supplies -- oh , and i never paid for the candy bar i had for lunch . tracy : get receipts . ethan : yes , your highness . tracy : it 's me . get down to the casino , now .

[ scene_break ] robin : i was standing right here where i 've stood a million times before . jason : i know , but you 've never had postpartum depression before . robin : i 've had a hard time thinking clearly , and i 'm always exhausted . i think i hallucinated . jason : what did you see ? robin : a little girl . she was standing right there . she was about 10 . she had big , sad eyes . she said her father was a doctor . she said that she did n't have a mom because her mom did n't want her . she said her name was emma . jason : you think you imagined her ? robin : she 's everything that i 'm afraid of . i 'm afraid of my little girl growing up thinking that i do n't want her . jason : yeah , but emma 's still a baby . there 's time to fix this . robin : but i do want my little girl , jason . i 've always wanted her . i just -- maybe i 'm not supposed to be a mom . jason : robin , you can do anything that you want to do . you are one of the strongest people that i know . robin : what if i 'm not anymore ? what if i do everything that everybody wants me to do -- i take a pill , i go to therapy and nothing changes ? what if this entire nightmare has nothing to do with postpartum depression and i 'm just not fit to be a mother ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : there are two things that you need to keep in mind . one is that you love robin , right ? and two , whatever is happening right now is not only happening to you , but it 's happening to her as well . when you pretend that all your fear and your anger and your heartache are n't important anymore , that is when things get worse . patrick : i do n't want to upset robin anymore than she already is . elizabeth : so it 's okay to just let this fester inside of you ? patrick : i can deal with it . elizabeth : okay , then how are you dealing with this whole rochester thing ? patrick : you mean the guy ? elizabeth : yes , i mean the guy , the guy you saw her with standing outside her hotel room . how is this playing out in your head late at night when you ca n't sleep ? patrick : i ca n't help but wonder if she keeps in touch with him , if she 's talking to him when she 's not talking to me . or is there somebody else that i 'm not even aware of ? elizabeth : i 'm really glad that you can talk to me about this , and i appreciate your honesty , but i 'm not the one you should be telling this to . patrick : i know . elizabeth : you should just tell robin that you were in rochester and that you saw her with this guy . patrick : i know , but really , but really , there is only two possible outcomes . she 's going to feel punished and wrong , or she 's going to flat out deny that she even slept with the guy in the first place . and neither one of them is going to help her get over her depression . elizabeth : and what about you ? patrick : if robin is well and emma gets her mother back , robin and i can work on getting past this . elizabeth : okay , and until then you can just unload on me and i promise not to be too pushy . patrick : i know . listen , i appreciate your perspective as a friend and a mother . i really do . elizabeth : i just want you and robin to work past this and be happy again , because i care about you , both of you guys . and i hope you can remain honest with what it is that you want . patrick : i want my wife and i want my family back . [ scene_break ] robin : it 's all out of my control , which is not a good place to be for a control freak like me . jason : okay , well , what 's one thing you can do to make you feel in control again ? robin : well , i do n't want to take antidepressants . i mean , i even tore up my prescription . i ended up taking them because patrick was on my case . and sonny has already given me the speech about the miracle of modern medicine . i just , you know , hate the idea of being dependent on a pill . jason : i do n't think they 're meant to be anything but for short - term . i mean , it could help you . robin : would you take antidepressants ? jason : well , i do n't have a baby to take care of or a life that 's falling apart . [ robin laughs ] jason : what ? robin : you know , if patrick had said that to me , i would bite his head off , but it 's true . and for some reason i can hear it coming from you . jason : you know why ? because you do n't like asking for help and i do n't like telling people what to do . robin : that 's why we get along so well . jason : so why do n't you tell me what scares you the most ? robin : what if this treatment does n't work ? what if -- jason : what if what you 're feeling is n't because of postpartum depression ? robin : what if i just do n't want to be a mother ? what if this has nothing to do with postpartum depression ? what happens to emma if i do n't want to be a mom ? what she going to do ? i mean , what if she needs me , my help , and my love ? jason : okay , do you hear yourself right now ? you 're worried about emma . you want her to be cared for and loved and that 's what mothers do . [ scene_break ] olivia : jax , does your mother know that jerry 's still alive ? jax : you can bet that he did n't tell her . he usually leaves that kind of stuff for me , because he knows i 'll sugarcoat it to protect lady jane 's feelings . maybe this time i should tell her what he 's really like . olivia : you would never break your mother 's heart like that . you 'd never tell her about jerry 's part in michael 's shooting . jax : well , if i did , she 'd have to know my part in it , too . olivia : but there 's no moral equivalency between what you did and what jerry did , so -- jax : i should have made jerry pay for the crimes after the hostage crisis . i mean , i did n't just look the other way . i actively helped my brother . i gave him a second chance , and he used it to take away the life of my stepson . i know that michael is n't dead , but you ca n't exactly call it living , can you ? olivia : jax , i have seen how clear minded and compassionate you can be , especially when it comes to your family . so , i have no doubt that you can make the right decision when it comes to michael . jax : well , it 's not my decision to make . it 's carly 's . i 'm sure she 'll go with the procedure . olivia : is that so wrong ? it 's her chance at getting her child back . jax : if michael dies because of it , carly will never forgive herself . [ scene_break ] maxie : you do not have a date with ethan . lulu : oh , i certainly do . maxie : well , you 're going to have to let it go , because kate wants him with me . lulu : i 'm sorry , kate . i 've been about team `` crimson `` for awhile now and everybody knows that i did n't like johnny and maxie going out on their fake dates , but i went along with it . for god 's sake , i had to copy photos and order limos and pretend that it did n't hurt every single time johnny went from club to club . did i complain ? maxie : endlessly . lulu : i sucked it up for the good of the magazine even though it created problems for johnny and i . kate : lulu , does johnny know you have a date with ethan ? ethan : well , with all the times that maxie has been going out with johnny , i think it 's only fair that lulu gets to step out with ethan . lulu : i could not agree more . i mean , i would n't be causing any problems . nobody expects ethan . i think dr. hunter is a great substitute . maxie : wait , wait , i can work with ethan . at least i can pretend like i could stand to be around him . lulu : it 's a job , maxie . suck it up . kate : yeah , lulu 's right . i never said you had to enjoy it . maxie : what about chemistry ? lulu : it 's not fair to ask me to make all the sacrifices in this office . kate : no , no , we would n't want to inconvenience your personal life for something as insignificant as `` crimson 's `` public profile . all right , look . this is a low profile event and dr. hunter is certainly good looking enough , but i want to be very clear . i 'm getting really sick and tired of all the hearts and flowers and everybody putting such significance on this personal arrangement , all right ? so , maxie , you take dr. hunter and your wardrobe is waiting for you . matt : thank you , ms. howard . it should be fun . and just for the record , i 'm not a hearts and flowers kind of guy . kate : well , that 's a relief . maxie : when we get to that gallery , you better not say one word . kate : okay , well , lulu , enjoy your date . i 'm hoping this turn of events will free johnny up for a whole lot more dates . lulu : wow , what is this for ? ethan : that 's why i came here . i thought i 'd return the money i borrowed . it seems honesty does have its reward . lulu : what reward ? ethan : i get to go on a date with you . lulu : oh , not if you 're the last man on earth .

[ scene_break ] carly : jax and i want to carefully evaluate the risks . three years , five years , someone else could come up with a safer procedure . dr. hensen : of course . anything is possible , but i 'm not sure michael can wait three years . even one more year may be too long . carly : too long for what ? you said yourself that he was healthy and strong . dr. hensen : relatively . but in a recent case , a patient came out of his coma after 10 years . there had been so much atrophy that he could barely speak and was incapable of significant movement . carly : okay , michael has physical therapy three times a day , seven days a week . dr. hensen : it 's an excellent regimen . unfortunately , michael is still going to deteriorate . jax : well , let 's back up a few steps here . let 's talk about the two patients in your trail that died . dr. hensen : the two fatalities were not a result of the procedure going wrong . both patients had preexisting conditions . jax : which michael does not have . dr. hensen : which michael does not have . carly : so does that minimize the risk for my son ? jax : it sounds like it 's even more of a risk to wait . carly : yeah , i know . i just want to hear what she has to say . dr. hensen : i ca n't promise you that this procedure will be successful for michael . it 's a decision that you need to make carefully . i 'll leave you to think about it . jax : thank you . carly : did i hear her correctly ? michael 's getting worse every day ? we have to wake him up as soon as possible .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : there are two things that you need to keep in mind . one is that you love robin , right ? and two , whatever is happening right now is not only happening to you , but it 's happening to her as well . when you pretend that all your fear and your anger and your heartache are n't important anymore , that is when things get worse . patrick : i do n't want to upset robin anymore than she already is . elizabeth : so it 's okay to just let this fester inside of you ? patrick : i can deal with it . elizabeth : okay , then how are you dealing with this whole rochester thing ? patrick : you mean the guy ? elizabeth : yes , i mean the guy , the guy you saw her with standing outside her hotel room . how is this playing out in your head late at night when you ca n't sleep ? patrick : i ca n't help but wonder if she keeps in touch with him , if she 's talking to him when she 's not talking to me . or is there somebody else that i 'm not even aware of ? elizabeth : i 'm really glad that you can talk to me about this , and i appreciate your honesty , but i 'm not the one you should be telling this to . patrick : i know . elizabeth : you should just tell robin that you were in rochester and that you saw her with this guy . patrick : i know , but really , but really , there is only two possible outcomes . she 's going to feel punished and wrong , or she 's going to flat out deny that she even slept with the guy in the first place . and neither one of them is going to help her get over her depression . elizabeth : and what about you ? patrick : if robin is well and emma gets her mother back , robin and i can work on getting past this . elizabeth : okay , and until then you can just unload on me and i promise not to be too pushy . patrick : i know . listen , i appreciate your perspective as a friend and a mother . i really do . elizabeth : i just want you and robin to work past this and be happy again , because i care about you , both of you guys . and i hope you can remain honest with what it is that you want . patrick : i want my wife and i want my family back .

[ robin laughs ] jason : what ? robin : you know , if patrick had said that to me , i would bite his head off , but it 's true . and for some reason i can hear it coming from you . jason : you know why ? because you do n't like asking for help and i do n't like telling people what to do . robin : that 's why we get along so well . jason : so why do n't you tell me what scares you the most ? robin : what if this treatment does n't work ? what if -- jason : what if what you 're feeling is n't because of postpartum depression ? robin : what if i just do n't want to be a mother ? what if this has nothing to do with postpartum depression ? what happens to emma if i do n't want to be a mom ? what she going to do ? i mean , what if she needs me , my help , and my love ? jason : okay , do you hear yourself right now ? you 're worried about emma . you want her to be cared for and loved and that 's what mothers do .

'cause he does n't want to see it . what he wants to see is quinn handing over power to steffy . just a selfless act . but it 's not , is it ? she wants to be accepted by this family . rick : i do n't ever see that happening . ridge : i do n't see that , either . what she really wants is for steffy and wyatt to get back together . that 's the ultimate prize . you do see that , right ? quinn : you should 've heard eric . what he said to liam when your brother stormed over to my house last night on his high horse ... wyatt : what are you talking about , mom ? quinn : he was spouting accusations , throwing his usual shade at me , in front of my husband . wyatt : oh , you mean like how you maneuvered eric into promoting steffy to c.e.o . ? quinn : and how i 'm playing matchmaker with you and steffy . wyatt : but you are playing matchmaker . quinn : well , the point is ... wyatt : uh - huh . quinn : ... okay , eric told liam that he thinks it 's wrong that he 's living with steffy . he says he supports your marriage , and thinks liam should back off . wyatt : steffy 's granddad actually said that on the record ? quinn : and i got to tell you , with eric on your side , i do n't think liam is gon na be with steffy much longer . bill : you 've got to be kidding me . liam : nope . eric is , uh , pushing for wyatt and steffy to stay married . he 's 100 % in their corner . bill : it 's none of his damn business . liam : i know that , but eric and wyatt have this whole bonding thing going on right now , which was , of course , encouraged by quinn . and now that steffy 's c.e.o . , quinn thinks she can seal the deal by having eric weigh in . it 's -- it 's ... bill : steffy 's always had a soft spot for the old guy . liam : i know . which quinn is n't above exploiting . and eric 's going right along with it . now , i 'm not saying -- i 'm not saying it 's working , 'cause steffy and i are solid , but it does kind of prove , again , that quinn has n't changed , and she never will . steffy : at this point , i do n't care about quinn 's motives . i know what she 's capable of . i 'm on full alert . rick : that would be okay if it was anyone but quinn or the future of the company was n't at stake . steffy : listen , i 'm well aware of everything that 's at stake , but i have a track record , too , just like you guys . i helped save forrester years ago from bill spencer . i helped make the intimates line as profitable as ever . and now i have this social - media presence , thanks to wyatt and nicole . i have a younger , broader demographic . i think i 've really proven myself . ridge : you have proven yourself . but i 'm worried about you walking into a quinn mine field . steffy : and i 'll deal with it just like any competent forrester c.e.o . would . now , i have to go . i got to talk to liam . rick : i 'm sure liam 's not that happy with you working that closely to quinn and wyatt , either . bill : eric needs to stay out of it , remain impartial . liam : yeah , well , tell that to him . he says i 'm incapable of happiness , and why would he want that for his granddaughter . bill : all right , that crosses the line , and i know all about crossing the line . liam : i know . i know that . but what am i gon na do ? i 'm gon na take it personally ? it 's not him talking , dad . it 's quinn . the man has always respected and supported me . this is just quinn working her dark magic on him . and now , because she wants to protect wyatt and steffy 's marriage , that 's what eric wants , too . just ... it shows you how good she is , and it shows you how she 's just as dangerous as ever . wyatt : okay . do n't get ahead of yourself here , mom . steffy is still divorcing me . quinn : yes , but now you have her grandfather cheering for you , too . wyatt : and i appreciate that , but that 's pretty much all he can do is cheerlead . quinn : really ? wyatt : yeah . quinn : he sent her tattoo - removal doctor away . wyatt : what ? quinn : before he had the chance to keep his appointment with steffy . wyatt : [ scoffs ] mom , look . i appreciate how much you and eric are supporting this whole thing , but there 's a fine line between supporting and meddling , where you 're concerned , and usually it ends up bad for me . so could you just back off , please ? and while we 're at it , can we change the subject ? what are you getting eric for christmas ? quinn : who 's there ? [ shower running ] quinn : ridge . well , if you 're not gon na be a gentleman and give me a towel ... nighty - night , ridge . let 's just say it 's the gift that keeps on giving , and we 'll leave it at that . rick : steffy 's foolish to think that she can handle quinn . that woman 's unpredictable . you never know what she 's gon na do . ridge : sure do n't . may just find her taking a shower naked in your dad 's backyard . bill : how does steffy feel about eric 's blind support of her and wyatt ? liam : i , uh ... have n't told her . bill : why not ? liam : i will , i will . i just do n't want to sound insecure . bill : you 're not being insecure . you 're being smart , wary , as anyone should be when dealing with that black cat . steffy : bill , hey . i did n't realize you 'd be here . bill : uh , i was just leaving . hang in there . liam : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] steffy : you said you wanted to talk to me ? what 's up ? liam : uh ... the ushe . quinn and your grandfather . now they 're targeting our relationship . rick : [ chuckles ] and you act like you 've never seen a naked woman before . ridge : oh , ricky ... no , i 've seen a few . i just did n't expect to see this particular one naked . rick : [ laughing ] ridge : you 're laughing ? you think that 's funny ? i think she was flirting with me . rick : i think it 's crazy . ridge : i think she 's crazy . rick : well , yes . quinn : hey , i 'm looking for steffy . rick : she 's not here . ridge : she went home to speak with liam . steffy : what do you mean my granddad 's targeting us ? liam : you know i went over there , right ? steffy : okay . what happened ? liam : what happened ? well , uh ... eric sure did n't pull any punches . he said i 'm no good at relationships and wyatt is . he said i do n't keep my commitments and wyatt does . he basically just regurgitated all the same lines quinn has used over the years to justify her meddling . but the thing is , you know , i know he knows it 's more complicated than that , and his new wife is the biggest reason why . [ cell phone ringing ] steffy : hey . wyatt : hey , yourself , mrs. c.e.o . i just wanted to give you a heads - up that nicole is helping me set up a photo session for the social - media campaign . i just kind of figured we 'd capitalize on your new status at the company and amp up excitement with your fans . sound good ? steffy : yeah , sounds good . i , um ... hey , i 'm just in the middle of something . wyatt : yeah , i - i 'll let you get back to whatever . but know that i 'm always thinking about you -- what 's , uh , best for you . steffy : okay , thanks . bye . [ sighs ] liam : see ... that 's what bothers me . now that he 's working at forrester , wyatt is just constantly gon na be in your life . steffy : liam -- liam : which is why quinn lobbied eric to make him head of p.r . steffy : my grandfather said that never happened . liam : you really think he would admit if it did and cast his wife in an even worse light ? steffy : okay , baby , i understand how you feel . but the truth is , wyatt is still in my life . we 're still married . liam : [ laughs ] i know -- i know . believe me , i know . and quinn and eric are doing everything they can to keep it that way . rick : i 've , uh ... got some calls to make . i 'll leave you two kids alone , right ? ridge : well , i should be going , too . quinn : oh , no , not on my account , i hope . what ? oh , let me guess . you 're still thinking about last night . liam : it 's still there . steffy : oh , yeah . i just -- i 've been kind of busy . the tattoo - removal doctor slipped my mind . liam : yeah . well , you 're busy 'cause you 're c.e.o . , which would be awesome if we did n't both know it 's part of this elaborate setup . eric ... the thing is , eric is doing so many things that are unlike him , like taking sides and making judgments and stacking the deck . the eric i knew would never have done any of that . he was fair , and he was impartial , and he listened . he did n't make these sweeping pronouncements like , `` your time is over , liam . steffy 's future does n't include you . `` steffy : wait . my grandfather actually said that ? liam : yeah . 'cause quinn 's pulling his strings . and if anybody calls her on it , she gives the whole song and dance about how much she 's changed and how she 's a different person because of eric 's love . and then , of course , he comes to her rescue and on and on ... steffy : you 're really upset about my grandfather . liam : no , i ... i know he loves you . it 's just , it 's your life . it 's our life . steffy : exactly . and this is where i want to be -- with you . and especially during this time of year . liam : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] you know how much i love the holidays . steffy : mm - hmm . liam : but , honestly , part of me is dreading christmas at the forrester house . you 've got -- you 've got that picture of quinn right above the fireplace . it 's just a constant reminder of everything she 's done to us . and then you 've got eric , like , explicitly telling us he 's trying to end our relationship . steffy : shh . just forget about quinn and wyatt and everything else that 's going on . this is our first holiday back together . and so many more . hey . what 's better than that ? ridge : seeing you naked was -- quinn : was the highlight of your day . you can admit it . i wo n't tell brooke . ridge : leave brooke out of this . quinn : oh , come on . i 'm not gon na run to your precious logan and out you as a peeping tom . ridge : peeping tom ? quinn : mm - hmm . ridge : you know , if i want to peep on someone , it would n't be this . quinn : [ chuckles ] did n't look that way to me . ridge : no ? you really are delusional , are n't you ? quinn : whatever . but there is one thing i 'm dying to know . ridge : what ? quinn : okay . after all these years of you being around these beautiful models in various stages of undress ... how do i rate ? ridge : wow . real men do n't rate women . it 's demeaning . quinn : but if they did and it was n't , now that you 've seen me au naturel and you know what your father comes home to every night -- ridge : okay . can i stop you right there , please ? you 're a very attractive woman with a really nice body . you obviously take care of it . quinn : thank you , ridge . ridge : you 're very welcome . and my dad has always fallen for women like you . the good news is , it never lasts . come on . it 's christmas . go home and enjoy that shower with my dad . [ sighs ] and now i have that image in my head . quinn : [ laughs ] well , you could be a grumpy old grinch , but you 're not gon na dampen my yuletide spirit or take away the significance of how important this holiday is for me , because it is my first as mrs. eric forrester . ridge : and ... your last . count on it .

[ monitor beeps ] [ door closes ] i got his labs . white count 's normal . daniel : well , that 's strange . maybe it 's viral ? daniel : no . i 'm not so sure . kristen : would you like a drink ? chyka : i hope i 'm not interrupting . kristen : no . just making a little something to remember the night by . because god knows that nobody else is gon na remember , right ? daniel : i 'm gon na start a broad spectrum antibiotic while we wait for his cultures . okay . and if his condition changes at all , you come to me ... of course . daniel : right away , all right ? okay . [ monitor beeping rapidly ] will : hey . everything okay ? gabi : yeah , everything 's great . is ari still sleeping ? sonny : yep . gabi : long nap . great . you know what that means . will : she 's gon na wake up and she 's never gon na go to sleep again . gabi : well , i would n't say never , but she is gon na wake up every two hours . she 's gon na be hungry , cranky . she 's gon na be crying her little head off . sonny : was n't she down for , like , five hours the other night ? gabi : well , yeah , that was -- that was a fluke . that was a one - time thing . she 's not even a month old . you really expect her to , you know , sleep the whole night through ? will : no , of course not . my mom said i did n't leave her alone for more than three hours till i was one . gabi : yeah , i was like that too , and i hope it 's not hereditary because if it is , we are in trouble . i 'm gon na go try to nap for a bit while i can , okay ? sonny : get over here . will : ah ! ow . so how old were you when you slept through the night , mister ? sonny : well , i was the perfect baby apparently . i slept through the night as soon as i got home from the hospital . rarely cried . and you know , when i was six months old , i was speaking in full sentences . [ laughs ] and then i bowled people over with my highly refined sense of humor ... will : oh , shut up . sonny : before i could even walk , can you believe that ? will : please , you were -- i 'm sure you were a little nightmare . sonny : i was . yeah , my mom said that she did n't sleep or even rest for , like , the first two years . will : two years ? sonny : two years . will : you expect three - week- old ari to sleep through the night ? sonny : a boy can hope , ca n't he ? will : i 'm gon na go sing to her . kristen : are you all right ? chyka : i have to admit this is not simply a courtesy call . there 's something you need to know about the drug 's aftereffects . kristen : you mean the fever and the chills ? those aftereffects ? marlena : daniel . roman : how is he ? daniel : well , heart rate 's back to normal and the fever 's broken , yeah . marlena : so quickly ? daniel : he was very dehydrated , so we pumped him full of fluids , and he seems to be responding very well . marlena : [ sighs ] roman : so then he 's gon na be okay . daniel : yeah . it looks that way . marlena : i assume you 'd like him to stay a couple days ? daniel : well , actually i 'm not sure that 'll be necessary if he continues to improve at this rate . and i know that sounds surprising considering the state that he was in when he came here , but -- nicole : daniel , you are the best . marlena : yes , thank you so much . thank you both so much . daniel : well , when the nurses finish checking his vitals , you know , you can go in and see him . roman : all right . daniel : yeah . roman : well , thanks . okay . daniel : can i talk to you for a minute ? nicole : sure . daniel : yeah , i need to know everything that happened from the time you found eric to the time that you brought him here . every detail however unimportant it may seem . nicole : why , what 's going on ? kristen : the fever and the chills are n't the side effects you 're talking about , are they ? chyka : no . as i said , they should subside quickly . i 'm referring to the other thing we discussed . kristen : the promise that you made me that the patient would n't remember anything that happened to him ? that other thing ? chyka : uh , yes . that . daniel : eric 's lab results are not indicative of a bacterial infection . i have never seen a virus hit this hard this fast and clear up just as quickly . nicole : i 'm sorry . what are you saying ? daniel : well , if i did n't know better , i would say that eric was poisoned . kristen : now you 're telling me this ? chyka : i 'm sorry . it was only after i gave you those formulations that i was alerted to a problem with the ingredients i used . apparently , part of the compound was corrupted . kristen : so ? chyka : its properties are likely not as potent as i expected them to be . kristen : and what does that mean ? chyka : obviously the drug worked as expected . but it 's very difficult for me to make any promises about the victim 's long - term memory at this time . kristen : so what you 're telling me is that this person could remember everything that happened to him ? is that what you 're saying ? damn it .

( laughs ) you know what ? maybe this is n't the best time to talk about this here . olivia : no . you know what ? we should have had this out a long time ago . but i knew you would take this position . that 's why i kept my fears about lizzie to myself for so long . phillip : fears . okay , fears are one thing , but to allow them to rule you to the point where you think my daughter is capable of a calculated attempt of murder . i mean , come on , i 'm sorry , but you know what that could do a little girl . i mean that kind of accusation could scar you for life . olivia : phillip , i 'm not trying to hurt lizzie . i 'm trying to keep her from harming my baby . phillip : it 's my baby , too . do you really think that i would allow anyone or anything to hurt this child ? olivia : oh , god . with every word that says you do n't believe me , that 's exactly what you 're doing . is it worth it ? is protecting yourself from the truth worth our baby 's life ?

[ scene_break ] marina : you really think i should take ben 's money . shayne : look , whatever you were feeling about northwestern before you remember you just pushed it aside , because you do n't want to take money from your family . but if you accept this money then , you know , you do n't need to worry about decisions for school . you could do whatever you want . marina : i do n't know . i mean , am i completely nuts ? because it 's like when you say it like that , it seems so simple . you know , it seems it 's a gift . i should just take ben 's money . i just ca n't get over the fact that people died because of ben . shayne : yeah , but if you accept the money then , you know , you can make something good come out of all of this pain . marina : but i can make something for me come out of it . it just seems really selfish . you know , there 's just got to be another way . marah : you know , for someone who is partners with the mole , you are awfully sensitive . sandy : ah , but for a guy , sensitivity is not going to get you the girl . marah : see , guys never know what women want . if they did , relationships would be so much easier . sandy : so when you called the show and talked about telling the truth even it made you lost something important ... marah : it was personal . i was faced with making a choice and seeing the truth about something , someone . sandy : that 's a funny thing , marah . all i know about tony is that he 's a pretty good guy . did i ... sorry . did i touch a nerve there ? marah : marina , shayne , remy , you know what ? take a look at the work we 've done around this . what is missing from these posters ? what is it that you ca n't see ? shayne : digital enhancements ? remy : hot looking babes ? marina : good penmanship . marah : no , it is not just about the slogan . it 's about the heart and soul that goes into this . it 's not just about free speech . it 's about making a difference . and i just want to thank you guys , because without your help , without working together and taking action nothing changes , okay . you guys took responsibility , you saw an injustice , you went with it , and you 've helped it . and i think you all should give yourselves a big hand .

[ scene_break ] phillip : may i ask you a few questions ? will you grant me that much before i walk out the door forever ? olivia : of course . phillip : okay . let 's start with lizzie sending ben to find marina . there 's no doubt about that fact , right ? olivia : no . none whatsoever . phillip : okay . do you believe that lizzie sent ben to that cabin to kidnap marina , to make her another one of his victims ? olivia : no , i think that lizzie was jealous that marina had ben and shayne 's attention . so she was thoughtless and willful . but , no , she did n't mean to put marina 's life in danger . phillip : okay , so her biggest crime was being thoughtless and willful . pretty basic for a teenager , right ? olivia : no , phillip its more than that . phillip : honey , let 's talk about the accident now . olivia : it was n't an accident . please stop calling it that . phillip : let me just see if i have this straight . you said that lizzie came to you ... she actually came to you and told you about the carpeting that was loose on the stairs , right ? olivia : yes . phillip : would she do that if she intended to cause you to trip and fall ? olivia : what is this ? is this a courtroom and my own trial ? phillip : but look , i do n't want to upset you , olivia , but you 've all , but accused my daughter of attempted murder . i 'm just trying to figure out how you came to that conclusion . olivia : look at me . i mean , really , look at me . i 'm sitting in a hospital room having coming this close to losing our own daughter . do you really think i would be inventing this ? phillip : i 'm not accusing you of anything . i just need to know exactly what happened , okay . now you said that right before you fell , lizzie called out to you , right . olivia : mm - hmm . phillip : okay . what was her tone ? was she ? was she angry ? was she happy ? what ? olivia : no , she was ... she was scared . it sounded like a cry for help . phillip : which is because that 's probably exactly what it was ? she probably saw what was happening to you , saw your foot get caught on the carpeting and she was trying to warn you . olivia : no , phillip . it was more than that . phillip : do n't you understand ? she was n't trying to hurt you . she was trying to save you . phillip : olivia , i 'm not saying that my daughter is blameless . and i can understand how you could misinterpret some of the things that she 's done . but i think if you put your emotions aside and you look at it objectively , you 'll realize it -- olivia : you want me to put my emotions aside ? what about you ? i mean if that 's what you 're doing . or are you letting emotions completely cloud your judgment ? phillip : okay . ( laughs ) you know what ? maybe this is n't the best time to talk about this here . olivia : no . you know what ? we should have had this out a long time ago . but i knew you would take this position . that 's why i kept my fears about lizzie to myself for so long . phillip : fears . okay , fears are one thing , but to allow them to rule you to the point where you think my daughter is capable of a calculated attempt of murder . i mean , come on , i 'm sorry , but you know what that could do a little girl . i mean that kind of accusation could scar you for life . olivia : phillip , i 'm not trying to hurt lizzie . i 'm trying to keep her from harming my baby . phillip : it 's my baby , too . do you really think that i would allow anyone or anything to hurt this child ? olivia : oh , god . with every word that says you do n't believe me , that 's exactly what you 're doing . is it worth it ? is protecting yourself from the truth worth our baby 's life ?

[ scene_break ] theresa : as much as i want to tell ethan the truth , whitney , i ca n't . whitney : but you do n't even know what he would do if he did find out the truth . theresa : no , i do know what he would do . whitney : no , you do n't . whatever he told his friend when he was in rome has nothing to do with what might happen with you . theresa : whitney , he told his friend to stay married to his wife and get the child for custody . how much more clear can you get ? whitney : i do n't really see how you can compare the two . theresa : why are you fighting me on this ? you are supposed to back me up . whitney : i do , honey . i back you up all the time when i think you 're right . theresa : i 'm just grateful that ethan did n't see this letter . i mean , i do n't know what i would have done . whitney : well , you would have handled it , like you handle everything else . theresa : this is different . little ethan 's all i 've got , whitney . and if there is a chance that i could lose him -- theresa : well , everything 's going to be perfect . whitney : not to worry you or anything , but do n't you think ethan and gwen are going to , you know , keep trying to figure out why you would leave your son 's entire legacy to ethan ? theresa : what do you mean ? whitney : i mean , what if they keep thinking about it and start putting the pieces of the puzzle together and realize there 's only one reason why you 'd do something like that ? theresa : oh , god . whitney : what i 'm saying is that ethan might not need to hear it from you . he could find out all on his own .

[ scene_break ] whitney : ethan is a smart guy . and gwen , you know -- she is always suspicious of your motives . what if they connect the dots and realize that ethan is really little ethan 's father ? theresa : no , that ca n't happen . because little ethan 's all i 've got , whitney , and i ca n't lose him . whitney : why do you keep saying he 's all you have . what about jared ? theresa : what about him ? yeah , he is a great guy and i am very lucky to have him in my life . whitney : are you in love with him ? theresa : whitney , i mean -- i do n't -- look , nothing and no one comes before my son . whitney : well , if that 's true , why are you keeping something like this from your son ? theresa : he is going to find out when the information ca n't be used to hurt him or myself . whitney : ok , i mean , that sounds -- that sounds great . that sounds really good on paper . but you know what ? you know more than anyone that even if you have the best intentions , something goes wrong . what if ethan finds out about this ? he is going to be furious with you . theresa : well , that 's why he ca n't find out until after i 'm dead . whitney : theresa . theresa : no , look -- and if he is mad at me , you can just tell him why i did what i did . i mean , whitney , i need you to promise me here , please -- i 'm serious about this . i want you to promise me that you 're going to tell ethan that i wanted nothing more than to be a family with him and little ethan . but i was afraid , whitney . i was afraid that he and gwen would sue me for custody like they did with jane and i would lose him . can you please tell him that i am very sorry , but i did what i had to do ? i did what i thought was best for my son . whitney : ok . all right , i promise . i wo n't say anything . but i still do n't understand why you 're doing this to yourself . honey , you 're not going to die for years and years . whitney : unless there is something that you 're not telling me ? theresa : i do n't know . i just kind of have this feeling . i just need to make sure that i 've got everything in order just in case .

[ scene_break ] gwen : i know you 're thinking about luis today . sheridan : not just today , gwen . every day . everywhere i go , everywhere i look , there he is . even at the courthouse after the adoption was finalized , he was there with fancy . gwen : uh - oh . sheridan : it was a bittersweet moment . there i was on cloud nine with my husband and my brand - new wonderful son . picture - perfect family . everything i 've ever dreamed of . sheridan : and there he was . and it just reminded me of everything that might have been . gwen : it must have been really hard for you . sheridan : but it 's over . i am married to chris and i love him and james . i 'm with them , and luis can move on with fancy . gwen : are you sure you 're going to be able to handle that ? sheridan : i have to be . fancy called me on all of the mixed signals i was sending luis . i kept telling him there was no chance that we would ever be together , but every time i 'd run into him , he could see how much i still wanted him . gwen : and all that 's just suddenly changed now ? sheridan : it has to . i told luis we ca n't flirt with the impossible . i am committed to my husband and my son . there is no chance whatsoever of us ever getting back together . gwen : i know you want to believe that , but i do n't -- sheridan : do n't you hear me ? i 'm committed . i 've committed my life to being the best wife and mother i can be . gwen : well , that 's got ta be pretty tough when i know you wish you were married to someone else . [ scene_break ] ethan : why would theresa leave me in complete charge of the crane empire , even if it was only temporary until little ethan comes of age ? chris : well , think about it . for one , she obviously trusts you . you 're a savvy lawyer , and with all due respect , you know why she did n't leave julian in charge of the company . ethan : that 's true . she and julian have never gotten along . but he is little ethan 's dad . chris : yeah , but from what sheridan 's told me , little ethan has spent more time with you . ethan : we 've always been close since he was a baby . chris : i suppose not to mention the fact that theresa did name him for you . ethan : yeah , she did . i was very , very flattered by that . still , there are so many other people that she could have chosen to be in her will . her family would have fought to the death to protect my little boy 's legacy . chris : your boy ? you just called little ethan your boy . ethan : yeah , it 's a natural slip . i love that boy as if he were my own . [ scene_break ] sheridan : i 'm not denying that luis will always hold a special place in my heart . gwen : ok , do n't go all hallmark on me right now . i know you wo n't love anyone else the way you 've loved luis . sheridan : it does n't matter though . chris is the man i 'm spending my life with . he is the man i love enough to stay with . and i would rather die than abandon james . gwen : i know that . but are you sure you can live with that ? sheridan : i can . you 'll see . tell me about theresa , about this new boyfriend that she has . gwen : well , jared casey is an absolute godsend but you have n't heard the latest news . ethan saw theresa 's will this morning . sheridan : really ? gwen : mm - hmm . yeah , and in essence she has left the running of the entire crane empire to him until little ethan comes of age . sheridan : you 've got to be kidding . gwen : no , ethan was just as shocked as i was . and of course , i accused theresa of just using this as another way to get to ethan . but i 'm actually not quite sure that 's what 's going on here . sheridan : so she showed you and ethan the will ? gwen : no , not exactly . that 's the thing . it was delivered to ethan by mistake . theresa was really upset about it and almost fired valerie for messing up and dropping it on ethan 's desk . sheridan : are you sure she was n't faking being shocked ? gwen : not that i would put past her , but she acted like she did not want ethan to see that until she was dead . sheridan : that 's so strange . i mean , even for theresa that 's strange . gwen : yeah , but that 's not it , though . there was this envelope that was also in the package when ethan first saw the will and when i went back to his office to go get it , it was n't there . i have a feeling in me that the answers i 'm looking for were in it . [ scene_break ] tabitha : no more , no more . i 'll die if i have another bite . fox : ok , you 're off the hook . miguel , what do you think ? miguel : they 're all pretty good to me . but if it were me picking my wedding cake , i 'd go with the lemon . i like the little tang to it . fox : to each his own , i guess . miguel : you know what ? i 'm just going to run next door , so good luck with the cakes . fox : ugh , no wonder he and i do n't get along . i hate lemony things . tabitha : well , that 's a shame . kay has always adored anything lemony ever since she was a little girl . fox : maybe we ought to break for a while everything is starting to taste the same . kay : i agree . i 'm stuffed . i think i 'm getting a tummy ache . fox : ok , well , i will call the chef over at the mansion and tell them to send the rest of the samples later , much later ok ? kay : that 's a good idea . tabitha : you 've got bigger problems than an ache in your tummy , girl . kay : oh , do n't start . just because miguel knows what flavors i like and dislike does not mean i 'm supposed to marry him . tabitha : whatever you say . kay : it does n't . i love fox and that 's all there is to it . tabitha : i 'm not arguing . it just seems to me that if you 're so certain about fox , i mean , why you keep dying to rush outside to be with miguel ? kay : oh , just because you 're a witch , you think you know everything . tabitha : you do n't have to have special powers to read you , kay . your conflict 's written all over your face . kay : that 's impossible . i made up my mind and i am going to marry fox . not that i do n't have any residual feelings for miguel . i mean , he is maria 's father . i care about him . but my gut feeling is i should marry fox . tabitha : yes , well , your gut may be good enough to help you choose your wedding cake , but i think you should go by your heart when it comes to choosing your groom . kay : that 's the problem . fox and miguel are both in my heart . tabitha : well , you can only marry one of them , dear . so you better be sure that the one you choose is the one you can live with for the rest of your life . [ scene_break ] gwen : i wonder what theresa 's up to now . sheridan : well , maybe it 's time to stop worrying about her . i mean , maybe there 's a perfectly innocent reason for her to leave her holdings to ethan . gwen : i would still give anything to know what was in that envelope . something 's telling me it would shed light on everything she has done . sheridan : well it might , but -- gwen : at first glance , you would think that theresa would have nothing to gain by making ethan the trustee for little ethan til he 's old enough to take over . sheridan : well i agree . gwen : but there has got to be more to it than that , because why would n't she just sign everything over to someone in her family ? i mean , of course they would be trusted to safeguard little ethan 's legacy better than anyone else outside the family , right ? sheridan : yeah , but -- well , none of the lopez - fitzgeralds are interested in business . certainly not luis . and i have never heard anyone say that miguel was interested in the corporate world . and paloma seems to have found her calling in police work like luis . and well , maybe theresa feels pilar wo n't live long enough to see little ethan reach maturity . gwen : i guess , but i do n't know . sheridan : i know , but ethan would probably be running the business now if someone had n't uncovered that he was really sam bennett 's son . gwen : well we all know that was theresa 's doing , now do n't we ? sheridan : well , maybe she feels guilty for her actions . or maybe she 's just being smart . she knows that ethan will do a great job running the company , leaving it successful for her son . gwen : it could be , but i still think there is more to it than that . [ scene_break ] whitney : i 'm going to let you get back to work , ok ? theresa : no , no , you ca n't go . not until you tell me the latest on you and chad . so when 's the big wedding date ? whitney : well , i 'm not really sure there is going to be a wedding date . theresa : you still think he 's cheating on you . whitney : well , i do n't know how else to explain his recent behavior . i mean , he has been acting so secretive lately . like he is on the phone all hours of the night , right ? and he 'll stick around to tuck miles in bed , but then he 'll all of a sudden get a call and leave , supposedly going to work . and earlier i caught him and valerie in the office together , all by themselves . you know , they 're laughing and having a good time . theresa : so you think he could be doing something with valerie ? whitney : i think it might be possible . theresa : well , that does it . valerie gave ethan my will . now she 's trying to hurt my best friend . she 's out of here . whitney : no , do n't fire valerie . theresa : well , why do n't you give me one good reason not to ? whitney : because i do n't know anything for sure . i do n't know anything and my imagination could just be running wild , and i do n't want her to lose her job because i am overly suspicious and insecure . no , no . until or unless i have proof , i have to have faith . i just have to have faith in the man that i love .

i 've got to get to a meeting . abby : whoa , whoa , whoa . a business meeting at this hour ? are -- are you sure you 're not overextending yourself ? what is so urgent that it ca n't wait ? billy : well , ash should be here any minute , so -- adam : you know , i got to hand it to you . it 's impressive . getting her on board -- i did n't think it was possible . billy : she wants jabot back in abbott hands . adam : even if it means getting her own hands dirty ? billy : i guess . they 'll be plenty of dirt to go around . adam : and spoils , right ? and sticking it to victor 's an added bonus . chelsea : who happens to be the father of ashley 's daughter . i mean , i can see why she would have some doubts . billy : well , what about you ? do you still have any ? chelsea : i mean , this plan of jack 's to set up victor so we get the company back -- can you really guarantee this wo n't be traced back to us ? billy : no guarantees in life , sweetheart . chelsea : thanks for the obvious , billy . i mean , we have children to think about . if this scheme blows up in our face , we could go to jail . i mean , somebody else would be raising our children . adam : listen , chelsea , if you 're uncomfortable doing your part , i could take over . i 'd leave you out of the whole thing , okay ?

what 's in it for you ? adam : you know , you 're really something . it 's unbelievable . you ca n't resist the cheap shot , can you ? and it 's not enough that you got a thing for your ex- wife still and vice versa . your ego is such that you have to continue to pummel chelsea even after you embarrass her at her own wedding . that 's -- that 's great . chelsea : you guys , stop . stop . we 're not doing this again , okay ? billy : actually , gabe , i already apologized to chelsea for putting her through that , which is one more apology than i can say i got from you for seducing my fiancée . but nice try almost changing the subject . chelsea : okay . i - i 'm sorry i asked the question . let 's just move on . billy : why ? why ? it 's a good one . i mean , gabe 's not an abbott . why -- why would you risk everything for jack ? you 've got nothing to lose here . you could just walk away . adam : well , the same thing could be said for chelsea , could n't it ?

abby : well , work was pretty much a ghost town today . everyone left early and at the same time . if i did n't know any better , i would think everyone was hiding something from me . ashley : oh , honey , you 're just imagining things . abby : really ? because i asked billy , chelsea , and gabe what the story was , and the silence was deafening . you know , people have a lot of different reactions to me . some adore me , some despise me , but they never ignore me . it 's suspicious . ashley : i think it 's your imagination . i have to go , honey , okay ? have a good night . abby : [ sighs ] victoria : well , is this your idea of us being a team ? you 're just gon na put the file away and not let me see it ? obviously , you do n't trust me at all . victor : sweetheart , of course i trust you , okay ? i just want to protect you from certain unpleasant realities . victoria : what are you talking about ? is this about mom ? victor : no . victoria : did she have another setback ? is that what this is ? victor : no , the clinic called me and told me that she was doing well in her rehab , all right ? victoria : well , surely you must have spoken with her . victor : yes . she 's coming home soon . i 'm very happy about that . you and i talked about your approaching billy boy and trying to find out what the abbotts are plotting against me . do n't do that anymore , all right ?

[ sniffles ] you ca n't expect to live the way marco annicelli did , make the kind of enemies he made , and live to a ripe old age . jack : there 's one more thing we have in common besides our looks . back home , everyone thinks i 'm dead . we do n't get off this island , they might be right . abby : what is going on around here ? victoria : that 's what i 'd like to know . i have just come from the most frustrating meeting . i have n't been able to get any of my questions answered at all . abby : well , i can relate to that , sister . no one is telling me anything , not even my own mother . it 's like they 're throwing me a surprise party and did n't tell me where to show up . victoria : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . who 's `` they `` ? abby : they . everyone . i 'm -- i 'm being paranoid . victoria : abby , wait . hold on a second . come on . i want to know what 's bothering you . i mean , we are family , after all , right ? abby : in all ways , except for when it comes to business . victoria : come on , come on . who 's ducking your questions ? your mom . who else ? abby : do you know something i do n't ? victoria : i am ready to share all information with you , but only because you 're a newman at heart . abby : yeah , let 's go with that . victoria : [ sighs ] the reason that ashley is shutting you down just confirms my suspicions that it 's the same brick wall that i 've been hitting with billy and kyle . it 's so obvious what 's going on . the abbotts are planning some move against our father . abby : i thought that dad and uncle jack were best buds now . victoria : jack has been pretending this whole time . he 's planning something . dad told me to work on billy to try to figure out what that is , but tonight , he told me to forget about it . abby : what ? why ? victoria : i do n't know . i have no clue ! but it 's a missed opportunity . abby : it would be . victoria : are you thinking what i 'm thinking ? abby : our father does n't always know best , does he ? chelsea : do n't question gabe 's motives . the man lost his father because of victor . billy : yeah , i know . it 's a touching story , and he trots it out whenever he needs it , like a card trick . adam : victor newman stole harrison bingham 's company out from under him . it cost him his life . he is responsible for his death . billy : i do n't know , bingham . it just rings a little false for me . chelsea : my god , billy , stop . what -- what is it you 're trying to say ? billy : just saying that he was barely out of college when this all went down , and , uh , you 'd think maybe he would have gotten over it by now . adam : yeah , the way you got over your daughter 's death ? billy : wow . those two are not even remotely the same thing . harrison bingham died . adam : committed suicide . billy : and delia was murdered . adam : adam said it was an accident . billy : murdered . chelsea : gabe , drop it . it 's not a contest . adam : you 're right . it 's not a contest . you want to know the truth ? you want to know why i 'm doing this ? billy : sure . adam : i 'd like to do this not only for harrison bingham but for my father . billy : wh - what are you talking about ? they 're the same damn thing . adam : they 're not . harrison bingham is the man who raised me . my father -- my father 's jack abbott . ashley : what the hell are you talking about ? billy : nothing . he 's lost his mind . adam : hardly . billy : oh , this ca n't be true . chelsea : you 're -- you 're not being serious . ashley : yeah , how can you be jack 's son ? please ? adam : i presume it happened in the usual manner . billy : [ chuckles ] man , you are unbelievable . chelsea : [ chuckles ] i mean , you 're -- you 're messing with them . just tell them you 're messing with them . ashley : yeah , right ?

'cause they 're really not that funny , especially if this is some kind of a threat to my family . now , how long have you known that you 're jack 's `` son `` ? adam : not long . honestly , i was as shocked as you are when i found out . okay , and part of me still finds it hard to believe that my mother had an affair with jack , but , uh ... apparently it did n't last long , and then , when she passed away , he decided to just ... keep it a secret . that 's the truth . billy : th - this is all crap , bingham , and nobody 's buying it . adam : you do n't have to take my word for it . just ask your brother . he 'll tell you . ashley : yeah , i intend to ask my brother . i also want some legitimate documentation , so please do n't even utter the name abbott until i get it , please . billy : you want a dna test ? ashley : absolutely . you know what they say . science never lies . adam : take it up with jack . ashley : like i said , i intend to . adam : okay . ashley : now , speaking of jack 's sons , where 's kyle ? is n't he supposed to be here ? chelsea : uh , um , we have n't -- we have n't heard from him yet . billy : he 's out of the country . he 's checking on the funds to make sure they were transferred to that off - shore account . ashley : jack allowed this ? billy : well , actually , i was gon na go , but kyle insisted . he did n't want me taking the risk on account of my kids . ashley : so , wait a second . so , all the risk is now kyle 's ? i mean , there 's gon na be video surveillance of him all the way there and back . he 's gon na leave a trail that could lead right back to him if something goes wrong with this . billy : ash , jack would never throw kyle to the wolves to save himself . ashley : jack would n't do a lot of things , or so i thought . text kyle . tell him not to put that money transfer through . adam : it may be too late for that . ashley : i do n't care . billy , do it . we 're not gon na get ourselves in any deeper until i speak with jack . [ door closes ] billy : well , you are just the gift that keeps on giving . victor : it 's me . i got the info . i - i need to find out where it went down . uh , no . start a recovery mission . i 'll pay for it . well , i need proof that jack abbott is dead . marco : when manuela and i parted , i tried to forget her . no easy task . i spent a small fortune trying to find her . phyllis : you could n't find her ? marco : eventually , i did . and i learned that she was married . phyllis : what does this have to do with the text ? jack : no , i 'm -- i 'm getting to that . i also learned that she and her new husband were having financial troubles , so i decided to help . i paid down their debts through an intermediary , and with my assistance , they were able to put a life back together , save their small business . they did okay . phyllis : and manuela had no idea you were her guardian angel ? marco : no , and i wanted it that way . she was happy . and that was enough for me , until ... phyllis : so , your contact in latin america is who texted you ? and the other person who died was manuela 's husband ? marco : they had n't had a vacation in years . no one knows what caused the explosion . the ship went down immediately , and ... everyone was lost . jack : hey . you okay ? marisa : i ca n't stop thinking about what you said . marco 's enemies are very powerful . sooner or later , they 're gon na realize we made it off the boat . when they find out you 're alive , they 'll come after you . jack : even if i 'm not marco ? marisa : [ sighs ] these men -- they shoot first and ask questions later . come on . can you walk ? jack : uh ... i kicked my way a mile to shore . yeah , i can walk . marisa : okay . jack . jack ! jack ! no . come on . jack . escucha . victoria : you 're an abbott as well as a newman , so how do i know i can trust you ? abby : are you having second thoughts about teaming up ? victoria : no , no , no . i 'm just trying to get the lay of the land . abby : look , i ca n't give you an iron - clad guarantee . but what 's your alternative ? i mean , you could just abide by dad 's command and be a good soldier . victoria : you know i wo n't . abby : yeah . see , you 're not a soldier . so , what do you say ? victoria and abby together again for the first time . victoria : looks like it . [ chuckles ] abby : awesome ! great , so we are gon na forget about dad , forget about uncle jack , forget about everyone except for the two of us . we 're gon na find out what the real story is and share it with each other . deal ? victoria : deal . but ... abby : what ? victoria : look , i love the idea of working together with you on this , but what if the plan 's already been set in motion ? what if we 're too late to do anything about it ? chelsea : it looks like there 's a storm coming . i hope connor sleeps through it . billy : well , it 's nothing compared to the storm that 's going to hit if gabe 's lying about his paternity . adam : you think i asked to be related to you ? billy : no , maybe not , but you 're certainly making the most of it , are n't you ? this explains how you got the job at jabot , rose to the top with no experience . adam : i earned it . billy : yeah , i 'm sure you did . same way you earned chelsea 's trust . how 's that working out for you ? you know , gabe , is there anything that 's real about you ? adam : okay , here 's the thing . you got to go . billy : that 's not your call . want me to toss this guy out ? chelsea : no , i - i think you should go . billy : fine . adam : are n't you forgetting something , uncle billy ? big sister gave you a direct order . billy : ashley 's overreacting . kyle will be fine . the chance to overthrow victor is too important to postpone . adam : thank you for not attacking me like the rest of them . it means the world to have you on my side . i appreciate that . chelsea : you are a bastard , gabe . how could you ? marco : thank you for understanding . phyllis : i 'm glad you told me . i 'm actually grateful to manuela . marco : grateful ? phyllis : yeah . maybe playboy jack needed to love and have his heart broken a few times to know what real love is . you know , if you had n't loved and lost with luan , now manuela , you might not have gone on the journey you took to come to love me . marco : [ voice breaking ] you are an amazing woman . and you 're right . everything in my life led me to you , to this amazing life we share . and nothing , no one is going to take it from me . phyllis : honey , why would someone try to take it from you ? [ cell phone rings ] marco : i 'm sorry . phyllis : who is it ? marco : victor . phyllis : just take it . take it . marco : whatever this is about , we can discuss it in the morning . victor : i need to see you right now at the office . phyllis : what is it ? marco : nothing i ca n't handle . marisa : oh , you 're burning up with fever . i 'm afraid your wounds are infected . you need a doctor . jack : i 'll be fine . marisa : no , you wo n't . escúchame . you may not live to see your wife or your family again . i need to find a doctor or at least a phone . jack : no . you 're not going for help . you 're gon na save your own skin and leave me here to die . chelsea : you know that the one thing i really hate is being lied to . so then what did you do ? you -- you kept me in the dark about who you really are ? adam : chelsea , listen -- chelsea : i mean , that 's not even the worst part . you allowed me to let a stranger into my life , into my -- my home , into my bed . i mean , i shared things with you , gabe . i -- including my son . adam : i 'm not a stranger , chelsea . i 'm anything but a stranger . chelsea : how can you say that ? i just found out that you 're not the man that you said you were . i mean , jack abbott 's son ? ! why would n't you have told me that ? adam : i just found out about it . chelsea : then why did n't you tell me the second you found out ? it 's -- it 's like -- and you certainly had the opportunity when you were laying next to me in my bed . adam : chelsea , i was in shock , okay ? can you imagine one minute i am who i am , and the next minute , i 'm -- i do n't even know who i am . i 'm someone completely different . i was in shock , okay ? look , if there 's one thing you can hold on to , one thing that 's true , it 's my love for you . that is real . so believe in that . billy : hey , uh , the usual , please . abby : ready , partner ? victoria : ready . abby : billy ! hey ! billy : hey . abby : hey , why do n't you come join us ? come sit down . billy : [ chuckles ] sure . it 's ... the best offer i 've had all day . abby : oh , what 's wrong ? you look like you 've lost your best friend . billy : more like i 've gained a new one , whether i want him or not . victoria : um ... do you want to talk about it ? billy : yeah , no . i 'd really rather pretend it never happened . look , have you guys seen jack at all tonight ? abby : i do n't believe it . dad was right . uncle jack 's planning a sneak attack , and you know about it , do n't you , billy ? billy : i do n't know what you 're talking about , abby . victoria : oh , you know , it 's -- it 's just a really well - kept secret . that 's all . but you do have a conscience . are you sure you do n't want to talk about it ? it might make you feel better . i promise whatever you tell us will not leave this table . ashley : what are you doing at my computer ? you have one in your office . phyllis : i 'm looking up boat explosions in south america . ashley : [ sighs ] okay , that 's very funny , phyllis . did jack put you up to this ? is he using you to get into my files like he 's using kyle ? phyllis : what are you talking about ? why would he be using kyle ? ashley : i do n't want to get into it . i need to find jack . phyllis : well , he was called away by his business partner . ashley : oh , really ? so , what did victor want ? phyllis : no clue . whatever it was , he would not take no for an answer . marco : this better be urgent . there 's a big storm coming in , and i do n't want to get caught driving home . victor : [ chuckles ] i do n't blame you . it 's uncomfortable to be blindsided , is n't it ? but then , you 're an expert at that , are n't you ? huh ? doing away with people in dark alleys and putting knives in people 's backs . marco : i do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . victor : really ? marco : hard to believe . victor : [ chuckles ] spare me . marco : excuse me ? victor : you 're a thug -- one that i applied polish to , but you 're still a thug . you 're in way over your head . marco : am i ? victor : i can make you and i can break you . marco : that 's right . you did make me . you found me in that stinking prison , greased the palm of some slimy politician to get me out of peru , flew me here , tutored me on the fine points of becoming john abbott jr. once i perfected my role , you unleashed me on the world . this whole idea was your doing . all i had to do was make sure no one found out about it . victor : including my granddaughter 's husband and my grandson 's fiancée . marco : again , i have no idea what you 're talking about . victor : i 'm talking about the people in the cabin . remember that pretty young blond policewoman ? marco : oh , that . if i got blood on my hands , so do you , my friend . victor : so , you admit to killing them -- austin and courtney and tobias . marco : i admit to nothing . victor : do n't think for one moment of implicating me in those murders . marco : gee , now why would i think that ? face it , my friend . those kids are dead for a reason . no one was to find out that there are two jack abbotts . now that jack abbott himself is shark bait , only you and i know the truth . and maybe that 's one too many . victor : yeah . maybe . adam : chelsea , who the hell cares who my dad is , anyway ? is it really that important ? i mean , the important thing is that i 'm here with you , right ? that i - i 'm looking forward to this life that i want to share with you . and in spite of everything that 's happened , i know you feel the same way , right ? right ? okay , look , i know this is difficult for you . i understand that , okay ? and i know you 're hurt . but just tell me what you need from me . and whatever it is , i 'll do it . chelsea : there 's only one thing you can do for me now , gabe . and that is to get the hell out of my house . abby : whatever jack has up his sleeve , it must be pretty shocking if it 's gotten you down this way . victoria : i really hate to see it eating you up like this . and we all know that jack is not the same guy that he used to be . abby : no . that 's an understatement . victoria : he 's made some very questionable choices , and guess who 's left to clean up the mess . abby : you . victoria : billy , for your sake and for katherine and for johnny , would you please tell me what 's going on so i can help you ? abby : and if you 're worried about this getting back to victor , do n't . vicki and i have declared our independence . we are doing what 's best for us and not dear old dad . billy : yes . you two are really good at this . i 'm surprised you have n't tried this approach more often . abby : approach ? billy : mm . tag team . good sister , bad sister . whatever you want to call it . victoria : oh , come on , billy . give us a little more credit than that . billy : okay , all right . you want a little -- a little scandal , a little tidbit ? here you go . gabriel bingham is not who he says he is . abby : what does that mean ? billy : it means we have a new member of the abbott fold , one i did n't even know existed until tonight . victoria : wait a minute . what ? billy : yeah , it would seem that the bastard who slept with my fiancée is my nephew . abby : wait , jack is gabe 's father ? ashley : okay , so i 'm just gon na wait for jack here . now , what was so urgent that you had to use my computer and could n't wait for your own ? phyllis : i told you . i 'm looking up boat explosions involving a woman by the name of manuela . has jack ever mentioned her to you ? ashley : manuela . um ... no , i do n't think i 've ever heard that before . phyllis : she 's an old girlfriend of jack 's , but something is very off about the story . ashley : that 's it ? that was so urgent you had to use my computer ? phyllis : whoa . touchy . what 's your deal ? ashley : i 'm not blaming you , all right ? there 's nothing jack does anymore that surprises me , like this mysterious woman from his past , and now , supposedly , jack has a son that none of us ever knew about . phyllis : what son would that be ? marisa : if i wanted to save myself , i would have let you drown . now let go of me so i can go . sleep . i do n't know how far i 'll have to walk to find a village with a doctor or someone else that can help you . [ sighs ] jack : marisa . marisa : yes , jack ? jack : you 'll come back , right ? marisa : [ sighs ] of course . [ door opens , closes ] victor : if you think you can intimidate me , you 've made a serious miscalculation . marco : have i ? victor : you believe in your own bull about being a thug and ruthless and tough ? have you ever come up against a guy who ca n't be intimidated ? marco : if you 're looking for the 9 mm you keep in the drawer there , you 're looking in the wrong place . victor : you have n't got the guts . marco : you sure about that ? [ next_on ] joe : what are you having to drink ? lily : uh , fuzzy navel , but i think i 'm ready for something a little stronger . dylan : did you call the police ? avery : i - i - i did n't even think . [ gasps ] oh , my god . | fake jack ( marco ) tells phyllis that a woman he once loved named manuela died in a boat explosion and that the text message he got was a contact in south america who confirmed her death . phyllis is moved by fake jack 's story and starts doing research on the internet about the boat explosion . victoria and abby decide to team up and find out the secret that everyone is keeping from them about the company . abby and victoria try to get information from billy , but he catches on to what they are trying to do and does n't say a word . billy , chelsea , and ashley wonder why gabe wants to help jack so badly that he would risk going to jail . the group puts so much pressure on gabe about his true motives that he reveals that jack is his biological father . | <s>[INST] phyllis : that wrong number -- that was a lie , was n't it ? marco : yes , that was a lie . phyllis : okay . so , who 's `` m `` ? marco : a woman that i loved . phyllis : a woman you loved i 've never even heard about ? marco : it was a lifetime ago . phyllis : before me ? marco : long before you . phyllis : it was serious , was n't it ? marco : i wanted to marry her . jack : it 's open . marisa : [ sighs ] thank god we found this place . jack : why is it deserted ? it 's not closed . marisa : i do n't know . hurricane season , maybe . jack : oh , great . we got that to look forward to . [ groans ] [ sighs ] marisa : it 's on dry land . be grateful for that . jack : [ sighs ] i thought we 'd be at the bottom of the deep blue sea by now . marisa : hello ? damn . jack : what ? what ? marisa : i found a phone , but it 's not working . there 's no way to call for help . [ sighs ] wake up , marco . jack ! you better be sleeping , you hear me ? jack ? jack , do n't you die on me . do n't you dare ! victoria : i know that look . you 've got the goods on jack , have n't you ? victor : you 're very perceptive . victoria : thank you . i try . so , what 's in the file ? victor : well , just proof that jack abbott is trying to betray me . victoria : the question is how . victor : it 's getting personal . victoria : yes , dad . it always is between you two . may i ? victor : mnh - mnh . abby : running late for what ? you just had brain surgery . ashley : i know , but i do n't have to be flat on my back in bed . i 'm following the doctor 's post - op instructions . i -- abby : and that 's a relief , but still ... ashley : honestly , honey , i love you so much and i 'm so grateful that i 'm gon na be sticking around for a while , but i ca n't chat right now , okay ? i 've got to get to a meeting . abby : whoa , whoa , whoa . a business meeting at this hour ? are -- are you sure you 're not overextending yourself ? what is so urgent that it ca n't wait ? billy : well , ash should be here any minute , so -- adam : you know , i got to hand it to you . it 's impressive . getting her on board -- i did n't think it was possible . billy : she wants jabot back in abbott hands . adam : even if it means getting her own hands dirty ? billy : i guess . they 'll be plenty of dirt to go around . adam : and spoils , right ? and sticking it to victor 's an added bonus . chelsea : who happens to be the father of ashley 's daughter . i mean , i can see why she would have some doubts . billy : well , what about you ? do you still have any ? chelsea : i mean , this plan of jack 's to set up victor so we get the company back -- can you really guarantee this wo n't be traced back to us ? billy : no guarantees in life , sweetheart . chelsea : thanks for the obvious , billy . i mean , we have children to think about . if this scheme blows up in our face , we could go to jail . i mean , somebody else would be raising our children . adam : listen , chelsea , if you 're uncomfortable doing your part , i could take over . i 'd leave you out of the whole thing , okay ? billy : wow . how gallant . adam : you should try it sometime , bill . chelsea : it 's just so risky . why are you so committed to this , gabe ? billy : you know , i was wondering the same thing . i mean , i know that you took the job at jabot to get chelsea into bed . mission accomplished . but , um , why risk everything for jack ? what 's in it for you ? adam : you know , you 're really something . it 's unbelievable . you ca n't resist the cheap shot , can you ? and it 's not enough that you got a thing for your ex- wife still and vice versa . your ego is such that you have to continue to pummel chelsea even after you embarrass her at her own wedding . that 's -- that 's great . chelsea : you guys , stop . stop . we 're not doing this again , okay ? billy : actually , gabe , i already apologized to chelsea for putting her through that , which is one more apology than i can say i got from you for seducing my fiancée . but nice try almost changing the subject . chelsea : okay . i - i 'm sorry i asked the question . let 's just move on . billy : why ? why ? it 's a good one . i mean , gabe 's not an abbott . why -- why would you risk everything for jack ? you 've got nothing to lose here . you could just walk away . adam : well , the same thing could be said for chelsea , could n't it ? but she 's willing to help him because he asked and he 's helped her in the past . the same goes for me , all right ? besides , bringing victor down would be like winning the lottery on christmas day . billy : what did the guy ever do to you ? adam : besides sending my father to an early grave ? billy : not according to victor . adam : well , how the hell would he know ? he was n't there . he took what he wanted and he left the wreckage behind . he has no idea what his greed caused . and if it 's the last thing i do , i 'm gon na make sure he pays . billy : yeah , yeah , you know , you 've been singing this song since day one , so how about you tell us the rest of the story now ? ashley : i really do have to be going . abby : whoa . why do n't you just go home and rest , and i will take this business meeting off of your hands . ashley : who said anything about this being a business meeting ? abby : well , work was pretty much a ghost town today . everyone left early and at the same time . if i did n't know any better , i would think everyone was hiding something from me . ashley : oh , honey , you 're just imagining things . abby : really ? because i asked billy , chelsea , and gabe what the story was , and the silence was deafening . you know , people have a lot of different reactions to me . some adore me , some despise me , but they never ignore me . it 's suspicious . ashley : i think it 's your imagination . i have to go , honey , okay ? have a good night . abby : [ sighs ] victoria : well , is this your idea of us being a team ? you 're just gon na put the file away and not let me see it ? obviously , you do n't trust me at all . victor : sweetheart , of course i trust you , okay ? i just want to protect you from certain unpleasant realities . victoria : what are you talking about ? is this about mom ? victor : no . victoria : did she have another setback ? is that what this is ? victor : no , the clinic called me and told me that she was doing well in her rehab , all right ? victoria : well , surely you must have spoken with her . victor : yes . she 's coming home soon . i 'm very happy about that . you and i talked about your approaching billy boy and trying to find out what the abbotts are plotting against me . do n't do that anymore , all right ? i - i do n't need you to do that . victoria : why ? why do you want me to stop digging ? i do n't understand . unless you already know what jack 's up to . victor : just do n't do it . i 'll take it from here , all right ? victoria : [ sighs ] fine , dad . victor : sweetheart . i want you to send me the info about a certain tragic accident at sea . [ door opens ] jack : phyllis ! marisa : sorry . no phyllis . you 'll have to settle for me . but at least you 're awake . jack : [ breathing heavily ] wait . di - did you -- marisa : i had to . sleeping in those dirty , wet clothes could have made you sick . to make it fair , you can watch me change later . jack : that wo n't be necessary . marisa : good . i found a closet of clothes in the office . i brought some things that should fit you . water . jack : oh , water . marisa : and a first - aid kit . how does your leg feel ? jack : [ groans ] it does n't tickle . marisa : bad burn . but you 're lucky . that was a big explosion . when i think of the poor captain ... jack : poor captain who would have had us both dead ? marisa : true , but i 'm no saint myself . are you ? jack : everything you 've done for me -- saving me on the boat , saving me in the ocean . i -- marisa : shh . lie back . jack : why ? i 'm not who you thought i was . i 'm not marco . marisa : no . you 're not . jack : tell me about him . i know this may sound strange , but in a way , i feel i owe him my life , too . phyllis : jack , you can not drop a bombshell on me like that and just expect me to let it go . marco : it 's ancient history . there 's no reason to bring it all up . phyllis : humor me . when , where did you meet this woman ? marco : it was during my bachelor days , which you may remember were legendary . phyllis : oh . let me guess . she was young . she was beautiful . was she a model ? yeah , okay . i hate her already , but please go ahead , go ahead . marco : no , you two would have liked each other -- both strong - willed , opinionated , determined . phyllis : how did you meet ? marco : a trip to south america . phyllis : i assume that 's where you learned spanish . marco : i was doing work for my father . i needed an interpreter . phyllis : what 's her name ? marco : manuela . we worked very closely , and one thing led to another . and i knew it could n't last , but ... i loved her very deeply . phyllis : liar . marco : i told you what happened . i left out the graphic details to spare you , but that 's the truth . phyllis : i called you a liar because you said you loved her , past tense . it 's very obvious to me that a part of you still does or you would n't be mourning her like this . marco : she was just so full of life . it 's hard to believe that ... phyllis : i 'm glad you told me . it actually makes me feel close to you . if this is too painful , i 'm not gon na ask you to dredge up more memories , okay ? jack : she grew up poor , manuela . never let that stop her . she was so full of spirit . you could see it in her eyes . you could see it in the way she walked . she was a beautiful woman , inside and out . belligerent , yes , sometimes . stubborn , yes , but in a good way . she -- she laughed when other people cried . she cried when other people laughed . oh , what does it matter now ? phyllis : it matters to you , so ... it matters to me . you said that you almost married her . why did n't you ? marco : oh , it would n't have worked for any number of reasons . it was a different time . phyllis : you were afraid what people would think ? marco : no . no , i wanted to spend the rest of my li -- she was a free spirit . one day , she packed her bags and just took off , never leaving a trace behind . phyllis : until now . this is an incredible story . but it needs an end . marco : i 've told you all i know . phyllis : yeah , not quite . who texted you about manuela 's death ? and who died with her in that explosion ? marisa : marco -- he was trouble . jack : a real bad boy , huh ? marisa : the worst . jack : what is it about nice girls and bad boys ? marisa : who said i was nice ? jack : [ chuckles ] marisa : we did what we had to do to survive . still , marco held on to a piece of his soul , just enough to save me from those horrible streets . jack : and you loved him for it . marisa : [ sighs ] i 've known my share of men , some good , some terrible , but marco -- he was the only man i ever loved . jack : so , what happened ? why did n't you have your happy ending ? marisa : he did n't have enough faith in the world , in us . there came a time when he had to choose . i thought he chose me . jack : and he did n't . marisa : no . i was ready to run away with him , leave all the ugliness and violence behind us , but ... he could n't do it . he left me with a bag of money and took off . jack : i 'm sorry . marisa : what does it matter now ? he 's probably dead . [ sniffles ] you ca n't expect to live the way marco annicelli did , make the kind of enemies he made , and live to a ripe old age . jack : there 's one more thing we have in common besides our looks . back home , everyone thinks i 'm dead . we do n't get off this island , they might be right . abby : what is going on around here ? victoria : that 's what i 'd like to know . i have just come from the most frustrating meeting . i have n't been able to get any of my questions answered at all . abby : well , i can relate to that , sister . no one is telling me anything , not even my own mother . it 's like they 're throwing me a surprise party and did n't tell me where to show up . victoria : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . who 's `` they `` ? abby : they . everyone . i 'm -- i 'm being paranoid . victoria : abby , wait . hold on a second . come on . i want to know what 's bothering you . i mean , we are family , after all , right ? abby : in all ways , except for when it comes to business . victoria : come on , come on . who 's ducking your questions ? your mom . who else ? abby : do you know something i do n't ? victoria : i am ready to share all information with you , but only because you 're a newman at heart . abby : yeah , let 's go with that . victoria : [ sighs ] the reason that ashley is shutting you down just confirms my suspicions that it 's the same brick wall that i 've been hitting with billy and kyle . it 's so obvious what 's going on . the abbotts are planning some move against our father . abby : i thought that dad and uncle jack were best buds now . victoria : jack has been pretending this whole time . he 's planning something . dad told me to work on billy to try to figure out what that is , but tonight , he told me to forget about it . abby : what ? why ? victoria : i do n't know . i have no clue ! but it 's a missed opportunity . abby : it would be . victoria : are you thinking what i 'm thinking ? abby : our father does n't always know best , does he ? chelsea : do n't question gabe 's motives . the man lost his father because of victor . billy : yeah , i know . it 's a touching story , and he trots it out whenever he needs it , like a card trick . adam : victor newman stole harrison bingham 's company out from under him . it cost him his life . he is responsible for his death . billy : i do n't know , bingham . it just rings a little false for me . chelsea : my god , billy , stop . what -- what is it you 're trying to say ? billy : just saying that he was barely out of college when this all went down , and , uh , you 'd think maybe he would have gotten over it by now . adam : yeah , the way you got over your daughter 's death ? billy : wow . those two are not even remotely the same thing . harrison bingham died . adam : committed suicide . billy : and delia was murdered . adam : adam said it was an accident . billy : murdered . chelsea : gabe , drop it . it 's not a contest . adam : you 're right . it 's not a contest . you want to know the truth ? you want to know why i 'm doing this ? billy : sure . adam : i 'd like to do this not only for harrison bingham but for my father . billy : wh - what are you talking about ? they 're the same damn thing . adam : they 're not . harrison bingham is the man who raised me . my father -- my father 's jack abbott . ashley : what the hell are you talking about ? billy : nothing . he 's lost his mind . adam : hardly . billy : oh , this ca n't be true . chelsea : you 're -- you 're not being serious . ashley : yeah , how can you be jack 's son ? please ? adam : i presume it happened in the usual manner . billy : [ chuckles ] man , you are unbelievable . chelsea : [ chuckles ] i mean , you 're -- you 're messing with them . just tell them you 're messing with them . ashley : yeah , right ? 'cause he has to be . billy : so , if you 're jack 's son , then that would make you my nephew . ashley : [ laughs ] and i 'm aunt ashley , apparently . adam : listen , are we just gon na run up and down the family tree all night or do you have some salient questions you want to ask me ? uncle billy , you want to go first ? billy : oh , to hell with that . ashley : okay , so , um , when did this happen ? adam : uh , when i was conceived , i guess . ashley : you know , you can really stop with the smart - ass answers , okay ? 'cause they 're really not that funny , especially if this is some kind of a threat to my family . now , how long have you known that you 're jack 's `` son `` ? adam : not long . honestly , i was as shocked as you are when i found out . okay , and part of me still finds it hard to believe that my mother had an affair with jack , but , uh ... apparently it did n't last long , and then , when she passed away , he decided to just ... keep it a secret . that 's the truth . billy : th - this is all crap , bingham , and nobody 's buying it . adam : you do n't have to take my word for it . just ask your brother . he 'll tell you . ashley : yeah , i intend to ask my brother . i also want some legitimate documentation , so please do n't even utter the name abbott until i get it , please . billy : you want a dna test ? ashley : absolutely . you know what they say . science never lies . adam : take it up with jack . ashley : like i said , i intend to . adam : okay . ashley : now , speaking of jack 's sons , where 's kyle ? is n't he supposed to be here ? chelsea : uh , um , we have n't -- we have n't heard from him yet . billy : he 's out of the country . he 's checking on the funds to make sure they were transferred to that off - shore account . ashley : jack allowed this ? billy : well , actually , i was gon na go , but kyle insisted . he did n't want me taking the risk on account of my kids . ashley : so , wait a second . so , all the risk is now kyle 's ? i mean , there 's gon na be video surveillance of him all the way there and back . he 's gon na leave a trail that could lead right back to him if something goes wrong with this . billy : ash , jack would never throw kyle to the wolves to save himself . ashley : jack would n't do a lot of things , or so i thought . text kyle . tell him not to put that money transfer through . adam : it may be too late for that . ashley : i do n't care . billy , do it . we 're not gon na get ourselves in any deeper until i speak with jack . [ door closes ] billy : well , you are just the gift that keeps on giving . victor : it 's me . i got the info . i - i need to find out where it went down . uh , no . start a recovery mission . i 'll pay for it . well , i need proof that jack abbott is dead . marco : when manuela and i parted , i tried to forget her . no easy task . i spent a small fortune trying to find her . phyllis : you could n't find her ? marco : eventually , i did . and i learned that she was married . phyllis : what does this have to do with the text ? jack : no , i 'm -- i 'm getting to that . i also learned that she and her new husband were having financial troubles , so i decided to help . i paid down their debts through an intermediary , and with my assistance , they were able to put a life back together , save their small business . they did okay . phyllis : and manuela had no idea you were her guardian angel ? marco : no , and i wanted it that way . she was happy . and that was enough for me , until ... phyllis : so , your contact in latin america is who texted you ? and the other person who died was manuela 's husband ? marco : they had n't had a vacation in years . no one knows what caused the explosion . the ship went down immediately , and ... everyone was lost . jack : hey . you okay ? marisa : i ca n't stop thinking about what you said . marco 's enemies are very powerful . sooner or later , they 're gon na realize we made it off the boat . when they find out you 're alive , they 'll come after you . jack : even if i 'm not marco ? marisa : [ sighs ] these men -- they shoot first and ask questions later . come on . can you walk ? jack : uh ... i kicked my way a mile to shore . yeah , i can walk . marisa : okay . jack . jack ! jack ! no . come on . jack . escucha . victoria : you 're an abbott as well as a newman , so how do i know i can trust you ? abby : are you having second thoughts about teaming up ? victoria : no , no , no . i 'm just trying to get the lay of the land . abby : look , i ca n't give you an iron - clad guarantee . but what 's your alternative ? i mean , you could just abide by dad 's command and be a good soldier . victoria : you know i wo n't . abby : yeah . see , you 're not a soldier . so , what do you say ? victoria and abby together again for the first time . victoria : looks like it . [ chuckles ] abby : awesome ! great , so we are gon na forget about dad , forget about uncle jack , forget about everyone except for the two of us . we 're gon na find out what the real story is and share it with each other . deal ? victoria : deal . but ... abby : what ? victoria : look , i love the idea of working together with you on this , but what if the plan 's already been set in motion ? what if we 're too late to do anything about it ? chelsea : it looks like there 's a storm coming . i hope connor sleeps through it . billy : well , it 's nothing compared to the storm that 's going to hit if gabe 's lying about his paternity . adam : you think i asked to be related to you ? billy : no , maybe not , but you 're certainly making the most of it , are n't you ? this explains how you got the job at jabot , rose to the top with no experience . adam : i earned it . billy : yeah , i 'm sure you did . same way you earned chelsea 's trust . how 's that working out for you ? you know , gabe , is there anything that 's real about you ? adam : okay , here 's the thing . you got to go . billy : that 's not your call . want me to toss this guy out ? chelsea : no , i - i think you should go . billy : fine . adam : are n't you forgetting something , uncle billy ? big sister gave you a direct order . billy : ashley 's overreacting . kyle will be fine . the chance to overthrow victor is too important to postpone . adam : thank you for not attacking me like the rest of them . it means the world to have you on my side . i appreciate that . chelsea : you are a bastard , gabe . how could you ? marco : thank you for understanding . phyllis : i 'm glad you told me . i 'm actually grateful to manuela . marco : grateful ? phyllis : yeah . maybe playboy jack needed to love and have his heart broken a few times to know what real love is . you know , if you had n't loved and lost with luan , now manuela , you might not have gone on the journey you took to come to love me . marco : [ voice breaking ] you are an amazing woman . and you 're right . everything in my life led me to you , to this amazing life we share . and nothing , no one is going to take it from me . phyllis : honey , why would someone try to take it from you ? [ cell phone rings ] marco : i 'm sorry . phyllis : who is it ? marco : victor . phyllis : just take it . take it . marco : whatever this is about , we can discuss it in the morning . victor : i need to see you right now at the office . phyllis : what is it ? marco : nothing i ca n't handle . marisa : oh , you 're burning up with fever . i 'm afraid your wounds are infected . you need a doctor . jack : i 'll be fine . marisa : no , you wo n't . escúchame . you may not live to see your wife or your family again . i need to find a doctor or at least a phone . jack : no . you 're not going for help . you 're gon na save your own skin and leave me here to die . chelsea : you know that the one thing i really hate is being lied to . so then what did you do ? you -- you kept me in the dark about who you really are ? adam : chelsea , listen -- chelsea : i mean , that 's not even the worst part . you allowed me to let a stranger into my life , into my -- my home , into my bed . i mean , i shared things with you , gabe . i -- including my son . adam : i 'm not a stranger , chelsea . i 'm anything but a stranger . chelsea : how can you say that ? i just found out that you 're not the man that you said you were . i mean , jack abbott 's son ? ! why would n't you have told me that ? adam : i just found out about it . chelsea : then why did n't you tell me the second you found out ? it 's -- it 's like -- and you certainly had the opportunity when you were laying next to me in my bed . adam : chelsea , i was in shock , okay ? can you imagine one minute i am who i am , and the next minute , i 'm -- i do n't even know who i am . i 'm someone completely different . i was in shock , okay ? look , if there 's one thing you can hold on to , one thing that 's true , it 's my love for you . that is real . so believe in that . billy : hey , uh , the usual , please . abby : ready , partner ? victoria : ready . abby : billy ! hey ! billy : hey . abby : hey , why do n't you come join us ? come sit down . billy : [ chuckles ] sure . it 's ... the best offer i 've had all day . abby : oh , what 's wrong ? you look like you 've lost your best friend . billy : more like i 've gained a new one , whether i want him or not . victoria : um ... do you want to talk about it ? billy : yeah , no . i 'd really rather pretend it never happened . look , have you guys seen jack at all tonight ? abby : i do n't believe it . dad was right . uncle jack 's planning a sneak attack , and you know about it , do n't you , billy ? billy : i do n't know what you 're talking about , abby . victoria : oh , you know , it 's -- it 's just a really well - kept secret . that 's all . but you do have a conscience . are you sure you do n't want to talk about it ? it might make you feel better . i promise whatever you tell us will not leave this table . ashley : what are you doing at my computer ? you have one in your office . phyllis : i 'm looking up boat explosions in south america . ashley : [ sighs ] okay , that 's very funny , phyllis . did jack put you up to this ? is he using you to get into my files like he 's using kyle ? phyllis : what are you talking about ? why would he be using kyle ? ashley : i do n't want to get into it . i need to find jack . phyllis : well , he was called away by his business partner . ashley : oh , really ? so , what did victor want ? phyllis : no clue . whatever it was , he would not take no for an answer . marco : this better be urgent . there 's a big storm coming in , and i do n't want to get caught driving home . victor : [ chuckles ] i do n't blame you . it 's uncomfortable to be blindsided , is n't it ? but then , you 're an expert at that , are n't you ? huh ? doing away with people in dark alleys and putting knives in people 's backs . marco : i do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . victor : really ? marco : hard to believe . victor : [ chuckles ] spare me . marco : excuse me ? victor : you 're a thug -- one that i applied polish to , but you 're still a thug . you 're in way over your head . marco : am i ? victor : i can make you and i can break you . marco : that 's right . you did make me . you found me in that stinking prison , greased the palm of some slimy politician to get me out of peru , flew me here , tutored me on the fine points of becoming john abbott jr. once i perfected my role , you unleashed me on the world . this whole idea was your doing . all i had to do was make sure no one found out about it . victor : including my granddaughter 's husband and my grandson 's fiancée . marco : again , i have no idea what you 're talking about . victor : i 'm talking about the people in the cabin . remember that pretty young blond policewoman ? marco : oh , that . if i got blood on my hands , so do you , my friend . victor : so , you admit to killing them -- austin and courtney and tobias . marco : i admit to nothing . victor : do n't think for one moment of implicating me in those murders . marco : gee , now why would i think that ? face it , my friend . those kids are dead for a reason . no one was to find out that there are two jack abbotts . now that jack abbott himself is shark bait , only you and i know the truth . and maybe that 's one too many . victor : yeah . maybe . adam : chelsea , who the hell cares who my dad is , anyway ? is it really that important ? i mean , the important thing is that i 'm here with you , right ? that i - i 'm looking forward to this life that i want to share with you . and in spite of everything that 's happened , i know you feel the same way , right ? right ? okay , look , i know this is difficult for you . i understand that , okay ? and i know you 're hurt . but just tell me what you need from me . and whatever it is , i 'll do it . chelsea : there 's only one thing you can do for me now , gabe . and that is to get the hell out of my house . abby : whatever jack has up his sleeve , it must be pretty shocking if it 's gotten you down this way . victoria : i really hate to see it eating you up like this . and we all know that jack is not the same guy that he used to be . abby : no . that 's an understatement . victoria : he 's made some very questionable choices , and guess who 's left to clean up the mess . abby : you . victoria : billy , for your sake and for katherine and for johnny , would you please tell me what 's going on so i can help you ? abby : and if you 're worried about this getting back to victor , do n't . vicki and i have declared our independence . we are doing what 's best for us and not dear old dad . billy : yes . you two are really good at this . i 'm surprised you have n't tried this approach more often . abby : approach ? billy : mm . tag team . good sister , bad sister . whatever you want to call it . victoria : oh , come on , billy . give us a little more credit than that . billy : okay , all right . you want a little -- a little scandal , a little tidbit ? here you go . gabriel bingham is not who he says he is . abby : what does that mean ? billy : it means we have a new member of the abbott fold , one i did n't even know existed until tonight . victoria : wait a minute . what ? billy : yeah , it would seem that the bastard who slept with my fiancée is my nephew . abby : wait , jack is gabe 's father ? ashley : okay , so i 'm just gon na wait for jack here . now , what was so urgent that you had to use my computer and could n't wait for your own ? phyllis : i told you . i 'm looking up boat explosions involving a woman by the name of manuela . has jack ever mentioned her to you ? ashley : manuela . um ... no , i do n't think i 've ever heard that before . phyllis : she 's an old girlfriend of jack 's , but something is very off about the story . ashley : that 's it ? that was so urgent you had to use my computer ? phyllis : whoa . touchy . what 's your deal ? ashley : i 'm not blaming you , all right ? there 's nothing jack does anymore that surprises me , like this mysterious woman from his past , and now , supposedly , jack has a son that none of us ever knew about . phyllis : what son would that be ? marisa : if i wanted to save myself , i would have let you drown . now let go of me so i can go . sleep . i do n't know how far i 'll have to walk to find a village with a doctor or someone else that can help you . [ sighs ] jack : marisa . marisa : yes , jack ? jack : you 'll come back , right ? marisa : [ sighs ] of course . [ door opens , closes ] victor : if you think you can intimidate me , you 've made a serious miscalculation . marco : have i ? victor : you believe in your own bull about being a thug and ruthless and tough ? have you ever come up against a guy who ca n't be intimidated ? marco : if you 're looking for the 9 mm you keep in the drawer there , you 're looking in the wrong place . victor : you have n't got the guts . marco : you sure about that ? [ next_on ] joe : what are you having to drink ? lily : uh , fuzzy navel , but i think i 'm ready for something a little stronger . dylan : did you call the police ? avery : i - i - i did n't even think .

[ scene_break ] patrick : oh , that 's it . defend max and blame me . just remember one thing -- i did n't take chelsea to that sleazy motel . frankie : jack , i 'm not saying max is a saint . jack : i 'm not , either . i 'm not , either . but compared to lockhart -- look , that 's why i dragged you all the way over here -- to look at him , to see how he lives off other people . he ca n't wait to live off my family . frankie : jack , jack . patrick : what are you guys talking about ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : hope , what frankie and i had together -- what we shared -- was 20 years ago . that was a long time ago . hope : you sure about that ? jennifer : yes . and -- it 's wonderful to have all of those memories to share , and it 's wonderful to share them with a close friend , but that 's what we are right now . we are really close friends . there is nothing romantic between us anymore . there ca n't be . hope : because you love jack . jennifer : yes , he 's my husband . and what we have is forever . frankie was at our wedding , remember ? hope : it 's just that when it comes to exes , a spark in one can rekindle a flame in the other . jennifer : okay , are we still talking about frankie and me , or is this about bo and billie ? hope : no , no . jennifer : you are worried about them , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] billie : stop it ! stop it , both of you ! bo : i 'm gon na stop him from bringing our daughter to a place like this again . max : if you 'd just let me explain for a minute , i 'll tell you why i brought her here . bo : i know why . max : no , you do n't . she was upset . she did n't want to be around either one of you , so i brought her here . i did n't take advantage of her . they just did n't have a room with two beds . bo , i slept on the floor . and then i wanted to get two rooms , but chelsea wanted me close by . nothing happened . bo : nothing . max : i swear , bo . and she 's not taking the news that you 're her parents well at all . she 's furious , especially with you . billie : well -- i - i 'm gon na find a way to get through to her . max : you got your work cut out for you . chelsea does n't want to accept that the benson 's were n't her real biological parents , and who can blame her ? they 're the only real parents she ever knew . and then to find out that her real birth mother is the woman that she hates the most in this entire world .

[ laughs ] there we go . yee - haw , little lady . do i have something for you from cowboy barto . sami : yeah , thanks . bart : and i 'm sure that -- oops [ laughs ] you got something for cowboy barto yourself . sami : yeah , i do . it 's the time and date of tony 's transfer to the maximum- security prison . bart : it 's a real deal ? sami : yes , it 's a real deal . it came off my dad 's computer . bart : no one saw you get it , right ? sami : you think i want anyone to know that i 'm helping tony dimera escape from jail ? bart : frankly , sami , i have no idea how your mind works , but i 'll tell you something . tony knows , but your logic deludes me . sami : `` eludes . `` bart : huh ? sami : never mind . the point is , i do n't want to get caught , and i got to tell you , kate roberts has been hanging around a lot lately . bart : i thought she was kate brady now . sami : it 's gon na change soon . the point is , she 's been lurking around watching me , and i think she 's suspicious . did tony say anything to her ? bart : no , tony did n't . that 's not his style , all right ? that is not his style . relax . kate 's just fishing . sami : well , i think she knew something . bart : take it from cowboy barto . she did n't know anything , all right ? and if this works and if the boss is freed , then we 'll make sure kate never hooks anything . but if it does n't work , all bets are off . [ chuckles ] that 's second outfit . [ scene_break ] kate : [ sighs ] [ slams table ] damn her . i am not going to let sami ruin lucas ' life . marc : so , the d.o.c . needs the time and place of dimera 's transfer so they can be ready for him . roman : i know that . all right , detective adams , i trust you . you 're a good detective , but this goes no further . the information on my computer is bogus . marc : how come ? roman : because it 's a no - brainer that dimera 's operatives are gon na try to free him , and the logical time to do that is during the transfer to maximum security . that 's our weakest link . but to plan it , they need specifics . so i 'm guessing that somebody from their organization is gon na try to hack into my computer and get it . marc : you set a trap with phony info . roman : if tony gets it , it 's not gon na do him a damn bit of good , but it may help us lock up a few of his cohorts . [ scene_break ] sami : i know better than to try to double - cross tony , so i got you the real information . that is the time and date of tony 's transfer order . so that 's it -- no more favors . no one finds out that i was stan , especially kate , right ? bart : [ chuckling ] [ scene_break ] roman : you see , i 've got the real information about tony 's transfer on an encrypted disk safely hidden away . it took us too long to find that damn bastard . i 'm not gon na take any chances on losing him now . marc : you really think the dimeras can infiltrate our computer system ? roman : when it comes to the dimeras , believe me , anything is possible . but if they hack in , it wo n't do them any good . tony is gon na be successfully transferred at a different place and a different time , and whoever stole that information will be arrested . [ scene_break ] bart : like i said , if this `` get out of jail free `` card works and the boss is sprung , then you 're in the clear . sami : for good ? bart : hey , take it from cowboy bart -- you 'll be able to breathe easier . [ scene_break ] lucas : hey , what took you so long ? i got worried . sami : oh , i just wanted to buy this for will -- you know , surprise him or something . lucas : that 's cool .

[ scene_break ] max : i 'm sorry to upset you . i really do like you , billie , but there 's no easy way to say this . chelsea does n't want anything to do with you . billie : no . no , not after all these years . bo : max , why do n't you let us talk to chelsea alone ? max : okay . good luck , 'cause you 're gon na need it . chelsea : you 're a bad boy , max . i got everything all hot and steamy for you , but you never -- oh , my god ! what the hell are you two doing here ? !

chelsea : why did n't you wake me ? adam : i was filing it all away . chelsea asleep . chelsea awake . chelsea in my arms . chelsea : [ sighs ] chelsea grateful you 're alive . [ chuckles ] when kevin told me you left the hospital to come save me and connor , i ... adam : you wanted to kill me , did n't you ? chelsea : the thought of you not getting out of there alive , i ... i 've already lost you -- almost lost you too many times . do n't scare me like that ever again . adam : hey . you do n't need to be scared . all right ? there 's a reason i did n't die two years ago . there 's a reason i did n't die in that fire . you . you and connor . i 'll always come back for you . you know that ? chelsea : hearing that helps . connor should hear it , too . maybe i 'll , um , i 'll call anita and have her bring him over . adam : okay . that 'd be nice . michael : christine , this is absolutely ridiculous . it 's unnecessary . chelsea : are -- are you kidding me ? adam needs his rest . this is n't a good time right now . christine : he can rest in his new bunk . it 's time to go to prison . . sage : [ gasps ] christian . oh . christian . [ sobbing ] victoria : so , the flowers have been delivered , and reverend wilkins will be there . and if there 's anything else , i 'll let you know , so ... thank you . hi . nick , we should probably talk about how we 'd like to invite people to get up and speak . nick : we 're not inviting anyone . victoria : oh . okay , sure . of course . i mean , if you want the minister to talk and then you and sage can say something -- nick : no , no one is talking . there 's not gon na be a memorial . jack : hey ! glad you could make it . phyllis : yes . the man with the plan is here to end victor 's reign of terror . jack : yeah , let 's hear this . share with us your brilliance . billy : tough room . uh , okay , so let me start by stating the obvious -- that newman enterprises is in crash - and - burn mode , pardon the pun . jack : i 'll forget you said that . so , now that newman is in trouble , your plan is to finish victor off with some grand final stroke ? phyllis : yeah , i 'd like some details , please . the bloodier , the better . billy : i will , except the opposite . jack : you 're planning a bloodless coup ? billy : no , not exactly . i 'm proposing that we ... save victor 's ass . phyllis : no way in hell . victor : well , kindly make sure that the inspector has everything , all right ? we 'll have to decide when to rebuild and where to relocate to if necessary . yep . thank you . not now . i have other issues to deal with . luca : newman enterprises . of course . between the virus and the fire , your company is compromised . but my family would like to offer their assistance with your recovery . victor : really ? luca : i 'd be happy to discuss an agreement . victor : you and i already have an agreement , do n't we ? you have n't accomplished a damn thing . why would i enter upon a second deal with you when the first agreement was an abject failure ? luca : it 's not a failure at all . victor : really ? she 's still here , is n't she ? marisa : good morning . victor : you have a good day , son . marisa : what were you doing with victor newman ? phyllis : you want to save the man who put me through intense humiliation ? why in the hell would you want to save victor ? billy : look , jack , you yourself said that it was a bad idea to go picking the bones of newman during the paragon fire sale . jack : that was to make sure that jabot did n't get sideswiped by this whole mess , which it did because of greed . your greed allowed paragon to prey on us . billy : i disagree with that . ian ward came after both companies , both families . phyllis : no , correction -- he came after me , and he got me , and i am never gon na let that happen again . and i am certainly not gon na cuddle up next to victor because we both hate ian ward . billy : i 'm not talking about cuddling up here . just office space , computers while they 're rebuilding . phyllis : here in this building ? jack : you 're gon na give the keys to the kingdom to victor ? phyllis : no . this is n't about ethics . this is a romantic gesture . billy : victor 's not my type . phyllis : yeah , well , victoria is . this is her idea , is n't it ? you 're doing this for the woman you love . nick : sage is n't ready to say goodbye to christian . victoria : no , of course she 's not ready . it 's the hardest thing in the world . it makes the loss feel real and permanent . but you and i both know that it 's necessary in order to start healing . nick : i know . delaying the service is n't gon na change a thing . victoria : do you want me to talk to sage ? nick : she might feel like we 're ganging up on her . victoria : no , i do n't mean about the memorial . i mean , you know , for support , just one mother to another , just to remind her that it 's not just about saying goodbye to christian . it 's about celebrating his life and , you know , to remind her that there 's people that love you and want to see you through this . nick : might be better coming from you instead of me . you know , you said this thing the other day about leaving the hospital with things unsettled . [ sighs ] i just -- i hate the thought of that , because then the service becomes this big looming thing that can crush us . victoria : let me try with sage . nick : whatever you can do . victoria : okay . summer : dad . adam : michael , can she do this ? christine : yes , she can . the law 's on my side , and michael knows it . michael : you could have given me more time to take my argument before a judge . christine : if you want to fight , fight . but adam fled custody when he left the hospital , regardless of the reason , and i gave him another night in the hospital to recuperate . i was under no obligation to do that . i would say that the state has been very generous with your client . chelsea : hmm , yeah , generous . was this before or after he was hit by a car while in your custody ? christine : i 'll give them a chance to say their goodbyes , but your client is gon na start serving his sentence today . [ door opens ] michael : if i had known sooner . i am so sorry . i was blindsided . damn . she 's a good d.a . chelsea : so he really has to go ? michael : i 'm afraid so . i 'll give you two some time . adam : thank you . [ door opens ] adam : i 'm , uh ... chelsea : just -- no . just hold me . michael : you go after an injured man who risked his life to save people ? since when did you become a bully ? christine : [ scoffs ] michael : look , this could be a huge p.r . nightmare for you . christine : a pr nightmare is a convicted felon who escaped custody after evading prosecution for two years for killing a child . people know who and what adam newman is , and you ca n't whitewash him with a couple of good deeds . and by the way , i do n't do what i do for the p.r . i respect the law , and i believe that people should be accountable for their crimes . i thought you knew that about me . michael : i do know you . i know what you went through last year . i know what you and paul went through 20 years ago . hit - and - runs are very personal for you , maybe too personal for this case . christine : not one more word about my motives . just remember i can still have you charged for aiding and abetting your client 's escape . luca : victor and i were talking business . my family wants to help him during this difficult time . marisa : your family only helps themselves . so , what is it that they want ? luca : sometimes you forget that there are worse people out there than my family . you gave our child away to protect her from them , and see how that turned out ? marisa : no , see , i ca n't say that for myself because you wo n't tell me where my daughter is . and what kind of father knows his daughter is with horrible people and does n't try to save her himself ? luca : i 'm not a father because you never gave me the chance . you rejected me and my family . you thought we were the worst thing that could happen to you or a child . now you know what your decision cost you . marisa : you 're right . you 're right . i made a mistake trusting marco to protect my daughter . our daughter . and i have been unfair to your family . i understand them better knowing noah 's grandfather . victor and your father are a lot alike . some would say ruthless , but they would do anything for family . luca : you just have to say his name , do n't you ? marisa : noah 's ? luca , i do n't want to fight . i am tired of fighting and fires and terrible news . tonight i just want to forget anything that is n't wonderful and fun . let 's -- take me dancing . like we used to do . dinner and drinks . we 'll dance all night until we 're too tired to move or think . luca : i have things to do . but ... since you insist on saying his name , here 's a name for you . eva . marisa : eva ? luca : that 's what they call her . your daughter . marisa : eva . nick : thank you both for coming . summer : yeah , dad . of course . i mean , we 'd camp out here if you 'd let us . and you know faith would , too . nick : how 's she doing ? noah : she still does n't know . nick : i got to be the one to tell her about her baby brother . but i do n't know how to do it . i was n't even here . i was at the newman tower . when i got back , it was too late . noah : dad , do n't do that . the way that you say it -- summer : it 's like you 're -- it 's like you 're blaming yourself , dad . you ca n't do that . the doctors were here . nick : i promised christian that i would always be there for him . summer : and you were . noah : our little brother had the best father anybody could ask for . and you need to know that . nick : thanks . all right , um , i 'm gon na go talk to the minister and tell him there might be a service after all . summer : i - i can go with you if you want . nick : thanks . i need to do this alone . summer : okay . love you . [ cell phone chimes ] noah : um , i need to take care of this . will you text me if they decide to go ahead with the service ? i 'll get here as soon as i can . summer : yeah . noah : thank you . summer : yeah . victoria : i know that a memorial to you might be scary and it might not provide the closure , but at least it 's a chance for you to say goodbye . sage : [ sobbing ] but i do n't want to say goodbye . i do n't want to . i want him here with me . i want to wake up every day and see his face . i want to watch him grow and play and smile . and i want to hold him . victoria : i know . i wanted the same thing for my daughter , eve . she was premature just like christian , but she was n't as strong as christian . she could n't fight , and she left this world way too early . sage : why are you making this about you ? this is my baby , my loss , my decision , not yours . do n't you dare say this is the same thing . phyllis : so , this is how you 're proving your love ? `` let me save your daddy `` ? billy : ugh . i 'm certain i 've never referred to victor as daddy . jack : billy , why are you riding the white horse ? billy : that 's a valid question . look , newman is more than just snidely . it 's -- it 's victoria and chelsea , abby , nick , who 's going through hell right now and does n't need to be worried about work , too . phyllis : we heard about the baby . it 's heartbreaking . jack : i 'm pretty sure the last thing on nick 's mind right now is newman . phyllis : i agree , and humoring victor is not gon na ease nick 's pain right now . jack : besides , given the condition that newman is in right now , we have a good chance of getting chelsea and abby back here . billy : now 's who 's picking the newman carcass ? i just went after subsidiaries . you 're going after actual people . jack : they 're the most valuable asset . i think ashley would agree with that . billy : who is unreachable . and this thing 's on a clock . look , newman needs a place to start rebuilding now . phyllis : oh , pl -- let them use the ranch . or how about their stables ? i think that would be much better . billy : you know how all those people got out of that burning building ? by working together . now , look , i 'm not talking about holding hands and banging drums and sharing feelings , but how about we do n't be jerks ? jack : all right . so we do n't be jerks . we share our office space with newman . phyllis : hello ! do i get a vote ? because i vote for being a jerk . jack : i 'm pretty sure this is not gon na happen . victor loathes charity . billy : right , right , which is why you ca n't position this as charity . jack : wait . me ? billy : yeah , i kind of failed to mention that . you 're the only person who could convince victor this is a good idea , so good luck with that . phyllis : [ scoffs ] victor : hold it a minute , please . according to the judge , my son is n't going anywhere . mat for victor so he can exploit the phyllis : you want jack to personally lay out the welcome mat for victor so he can exploit our overly generous hospitality ? billy : look , jack said it himself . victor wo n't take charity . so , he has to make it clear that this is just an act of business camaraderie . jack : billy 's right . it has to come from me . phyllis : you both know where i stand on this . billy : i may have missed it . could you lay it out for me again ? phyllis : you know , you 're pretty irritating sometimes . you know that ? billy : yeah . [ cell phone chimes ] phyllis : all right , that 's summer . uh , she needs me . i will see both of you at the hospital chapel later . jack : i 'll walk you out . phyllis : okay . i really hope that this is part of your plan . you promised payback after marco . i did not forget that , so do n't you , either . christine : everyone , just wait a second while i have a chance to read this . victor : well , let me paraphrase , okay ? the prison sentence stands , but adam has been granted a few days so that he can heal from the wounds that he incurred while saving people 's lives . chelsea : so he -- he can stay ? christine : [ sighs ] for now . please have the prisoner brought back to his room . he remains cuffed to the bed . chelsea : thank you . thank you . christine : this is a travesty of justice . victor : i disagree with you . i think it is justice . he saved lives . he risked his own life to save others . he deserves a few days off . [ door opens ] adam : thank you for that . victor : you deserve this , son . you saved a lot of people 's lives . besides , this will give us a chance to work with michael on an appeal . you mark my word . we will win . noah : hey , what 's wrong ? you okay ? marisa : there 's something going on in luca 's mind . he 's shutting me out . he 's saying i have to live with my decisions . noah : [ sighs ] he knows . marisa : what ? noah : about us at the benefit . he knows . marisa : what did he say ? noah : `` i know . i 'll make sure it wo n't happen again . `` that kind of thing . damn it . i 'm sorry . marisa : noah , if -- if he knows i broke our deal , he 'll punish me . he wo n't tell me where my eva is . noah : eva ? marisa : that 's her name . that 's what they call my daughter . noah : it 's nice . that 'll help kevin find her . marisa : it may help , but it 's taking too long . i do n't have time for him to search every corner of the internet . my daughter does not have that time . noah : you do n't know how long it 's gon na take . marisa : no , you do n't know . you have no idea what it 's like to be separated from your child . noah : well , i just came from the hospital , and i had to listen to my father grieve the death of his infant son , so ... i kind of have an idea . victoria : i swear i 'm not trying to compare our losses . this is heartbreaking . and i 'm really just here to let you know that i know what you 're going through . i mean , this heartache , it 's always gon na be there . but the feeling that you 're not gon na survive -- it 's gon na fade away . it 's gon na become something less brutal . sage : but you get to go home to johnny and katie , and reed will come visit . three kids . you have three beautiful , perfect children . of course you can go on . christian was my miracle , my only chance , and he 's gone . victoria : i 'm sure that nick never mentioned this , but the doctors told me that i would never have children . johnny 's not my biological child , but katherine -- she was a surprise blessing . sage : a miracle . victoria : yeah . a miracle . sage : christian was mine . and who gets a second miracle , victoria ? not people like me . i left him . i walked out of this hospital , and my baby -- my miracle -- was not here when i got back . victoria : i know . i know . you know , nick 's feeling the loss , too . neither one of you got to say goodbye . i know the memorial is just -- is not the same , but at least -- at least it 's something . sage , nick needs this . he needs you . do n't lose each other in this . you 've already lost too much . and remember that you made a miracle , and remember that nick loves you . nick : i was n't sure if victoria should come . sage : i was awful to her , just like i was to you , and i 'm so sorry . please forgive me . nick : i 'm sorry , too . the last thing i want is for this to be harder than it already is for either one of us . sage : it 's not hard . it 's impossible . nick : i know . we just got to take it one step at a time . this memorial can be whenever or however you want it to be . sage : [ voice breaking ] i do n't want it to be . nick : i know you do n't . but christian was here . he came into this world . he was taken from us way too soon , but he was here , and we need to find some way to honor that , to mark the moment . these -- these rituals exist for a reason . sage : we should be celebrating his christening , nick . christian should be in our arms , and the priest should be asking god to look over him . we should be paying tribute to his birth , his amazing existence . we should be planning his future . nick : we never got that chance . sage : no , we did n't , because he 's gone , and he 's not coming back . so i do n't need to mark this day . i do n't need a reminder . i will never , ever forget this day . but i think that you should go . if it brings you peace , even for just a second , you should go . but i 'm not gon na be there . nick : sage , i promise you , if you do n't go to this , you will regret it for the rest of your life . [ voice breaking ] we were n't there for him the night he passed . but we can be there for him for this . sage : i 'm not going . please respect my decision . i think you should go to the memorial . but you 're gon na go without me . marisa : my heart breaks for your father and sage and for christian 's entire family . noah : i left my dad to be here . i need to get back to the hospital , okay ? marisa : would you like me to come with you ? noah : no , you do n't have to do that . it 's just family . marisa : luca , i need you to meet me right now in our suite . victor : you got in league with the devil . adam : if i knew he was back in town , i would have done ... victor : i know you would have stopped him . i know that now . anyway , get some rest , okay ? you too , chelsea . i 'll keep you informed about the appeal , okay ? [ door opens ] [ door closes ] chelsea : [ sighs ] adam : did that just happen ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] it did . adam : huh . chelsea : and if you did n't believe it before , you should believe it now . your father loves you . victor : michael . michael : victor . um , please know how sorry lauren and i are about the passing of your grandson . victor : oh . [ sighs ] wish there were more i could do for nicholas . but maybe now i can do something for my other son . i think the verdict against adam needs to be reversed . i think we need to pay attention to the appeal , okay ? michael : it 's a long shot . victor : i know it 's a long shot , but i have something in mind . jack : well , i guess i 'm on . billy : go get him , tiger . jack : michael . michael : jack , good to see you . excuse me . jack : victor , my heart goes out to you and your family . the loss of a child wounds like nothing else . victor : i appreciate the sentiment , jack . what else do you want ? jack : to help raise newman enterprises from the ashes . summer : dad has this look in his eyes . it 's more than grief . this is n't the first time he 's had to suffer this way . phyllis : when nick lost cassie . something broke inside of him . yeah , him having to go through this again , i ... summer : i know that i ca n't fix it , but to -- to give him even a little relief would be something . phyllis : i know . and he knows that you 're here for him . you have no idea what that means to him . you just stay close . and you talk when he wants to talk and stay quiet when there 's nothing else to say . let him hug you , 'cause he 's gon na need a lot of love through this . all right ? summer : okay . i love you . and i 'm really , really lucky to have you as my dad . and i 'm really sorry that you 're hurting right now . nick : thanks . i love you , too . phyllis : she 's right . nick , we ca n't fix this . it 's ... no one can fix this . but you are an amazing father with an intense capacity for fatherly devotion , and christian had that from you every second he was on this planet . and i know in my heart he felt that love . i 'm so sorry . luca : what 's so important ? marisa : it has n't been right between us , luca . this is n't how things should be . we both say things that are unfair , and if i offended you by talking about your family , i 'm sorry . okay ? it used to be easy for us to talk about everything . it should be easy again . should we toast to that ? it being easy again ? or should we toast to something else ? luca : how about you just stop lying ? adam : loves me ? i do n't know if i 'd go so far as to say that victor loves me . i think maybe there 's a newfound respect there . chelsea : no , it 's more than just respect , adam . something 's changed between the two of you . for once , you 're not pushing him away , and for once , he 's not being rude and defensive . adam : hmm . chelsea : he wants to help you , and for once , you 're actually letting him . adam : maybe . or , you know , maybe it 's just him not wanting any of his offspring to go to the big house , you know , shaming the family name ? chelsea : well , considering he 's had some of his own children arrested , i do n't think that 's what it is . adam : that 's true . chelsea : why do n't you just accept it ? i mean , this is what you 've always wanted deep down . adam : i 'm not disagreeing with you . having him on my side would be , you know ... nice . chelsea : nice ? are you being serious ? adam : you know , being able to look at him and not feeling rejected , dismissed -- that would also be ... nice , i guess . chelsea : what you did at newman tower was incredible . you were the man you 've always wanted to be . you were the man victor always hoped you would be . so just accept that . accept the reward within that . adam : well , right now , all i want to accept is this extra time i get to spend with you and connor . chelsea : it might be hard to see this right now , but we 're actually lucky . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : you know that ? because we get a future . we get to look forward to an eventual future together as a family . [ sighs ] but nick and sage ? it 's so awful . nick said that they 're not sure they can have the memorial for christian today because sage -- she just ... she ca n't handle it . jack : newman enterprises and jabot have shared office space before . it would n't be unprecedented . victor : i 'm not in the habit of making the same mistake twice , jack . jack : it 's merely a practical matter . victor : hmm . jack : look , newman enterprises employs a great many people in this town . it seems to me it would be in everyone 's best interest if the company were back in fighting shape . victor : hmm . and for that , i need your help ? jack : paragon had your company on its knees long before your offices became a disaster area . this is simply a practical matter . you need the infrastructure of an established office . you do n't have time to set up an open space from scratch . victor : and you know what i need ? do n't try to play hero with me . jack : you 're really gon na let your pride get in the way of what 's best for your company ? victor : now , you know better than anyone i 've rebuilt my company several times . and i will do it again . just watch me . marisa : you want to talk about the truth ? okay . you saw me sneak off to be with noah , did n't you ? and you did n't say a word . now you want to punish me . luca : we had an agreement . marisa : you wanted me in your suite . i 'm in your suite . you wanted a month to remember why we were together . is that all you thought it would take ? a month ? to forget everything your family did to me , to forget how you sided with them ? you know why i 'm here . i am here so you can tell me where my daughter is . your daughter . where is she ? where 's eva ? luca : the point was for us to be a family . marisa : tell me where she is ! luca : what do you care ? you do n't even want to know . marisa : of course i do ! that 's all that i want ! luca : but you did n't want it enough . you wanted to have sex with noah more . congratulations . you made your choice . and i 've made mine . noah : hey , dad . summer texted me . you going through with the service ? nick : yeah , this needs to happen today . phyllis : i can get sage if that 's what you want me to do . nick : she 's not coming . she ca n't , so i have to say goodbye to christian for both of us . [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] adam : hey . sage : what ? did you escape custody again ? or am i so pathetic you got special dispensation ? go away , please . adam : i 'm actually working the buddy system . my guard 's right outside , so do n't try anything . i 'm sorry , sage . sage : like you give a damn . adam : i 'm here , are n't i ? sage : yeah , you 're here because it 's all about you . if i learned one thing today , it 's that people make everything about themselves . their pain , their loss , their guilt . adam : i 'm -- i 'm trying to apologize to you , okay ? the only reason you 're in this town is because of me , and if that had n't happened -- sage : what happened is that i met your brother and i convinced myself that it was fate , that i could save him , he could save me from loneliness and having no one and nothing to call my own . but that 's all gone now , and i 'm back to where i started , are n't i ? with nothing . adam : come on , sage . do n't say that . that 's not true . sage : you 'll never get it . you 'll never understand . you 're a newman . you can play the black sheep all you want . does n't matter . christian was mine . my family , my blood . and now he 's gone . and now nick can go back to his life and be with his family and his children . is that where he is right now ? and i 'm stuck here with nothing because my baby is gone . victoria : jack just made you an offer , one that shows real kindness and respect , and you 're turning him down ? victor : did you know about this scheme of his ? billy : it 's not a scheme . it 's just an act of decency . victor : and you were in on it , were n't you , victoria ? that proves that the offer is insincere . victoria : and here 's the proof you 're as stubborn as a mule . victor : this is still my company . i make the decisions . jack : it is a practical solution to your problems . victor : billy boy , this is your way of getting a piece of newman ? victoria : a piece of what , dad ? a company that is still smoldering as we speak ? jack reached out to you . he made the first move . accepting it does n't mean that you 're weak . it shows that you 're rational and human . victor : it 's a matter of a building , a few computers , a few desks . that can easily be arranged . victoria : and apparently you 're still incapable of taking my advice . go ahead , dad . fine . have at it . rebuild newman without me . jack : well done . you said you wanted to rebuild newman all by your lonesome . you may just get your wish . victor : you bet .

[ chuckles ] when kevin told me you left the hospital to come save me and connor , i ... adam : you wanted to kill me , did n't you ? chelsea : the thought of you not getting out of there alive , i ... i 've already lost you -- almost lost you too many times . do n't scare me like that ever again . adam : hey . you do n't need to be scared . all right ? there 's a reason i did n't die two years ago . there 's a reason i did n't die in that fire . you . you and connor . i 'll always come back for you . you know that ? chelsea : hearing that helps . connor should hear it , too . maybe i 'll , um , i 'll call anita and have her bring him over . adam : okay . that 'd be nice . michael : christine , this is absolutely ridiculous . it 's unnecessary . chelsea : are -- are you kidding me ? adam needs his rest . this is n't a good time right now . christine : he can rest in his new bunk . it 's time to go to prison . . sage : [ gasps ] christian . oh . christian . [ sobbing ] victoria : so , the flowers have been delivered , and reverend wilkins will be there . and if there 's anything else , i 'll let you know , so ... thank you . hi . nick , we should probably talk about how we 'd like to invite people to get up and speak . nick : we 're not inviting anyone . victoria : oh . okay , sure . of course . i mean , if you want the minister to talk and then you and sage can say something -- nick : no , no one is talking . there 's not gon na be a memorial . jack : hey ! glad you could make it . phyllis : yes . the man with the plan is here to end victor 's reign of terror . jack : yeah , let 's hear this . share with us your brilliance . billy : tough room . uh , okay , so let me start by stating the obvious -- that newman enterprises is in crash - and - burn mode , pardon the pun . jack : i 'll forget you said that . so , now that newman is in trouble , your plan is to finish victor off with some grand final stroke ? phyllis : yeah , i 'd like some details , please . the bloodier , the better . billy : i will , except the opposite . jack : you 're planning a bloodless coup ? billy : no , not exactly . i 'm proposing that we ... save victor 's ass . phyllis : no way in hell . victor : well , kindly make sure that the inspector has everything , all right ? we 'll have to decide when to rebuild and where to relocate to if necessary . yep . thank you . not now . i have other issues to deal with . luca : newman enterprises . of course . between the virus and the fire , your company is compromised . but my family would like to offer their assistance with your recovery . victor : really ? luca : i 'd be happy to discuss an agreement . victor : you and i already have an agreement , do n't we ? you have n't accomplished a damn thing . why would i enter upon a second deal with you when the first agreement was an abject failure ? luca : it 's not a failure at all . victor : really ? she 's still here , is n't she ? marisa : good morning . victor : you have a good day , son . marisa : what were you doing with victor newman ? phyllis : you want to save the man who put me through intense humiliation ? why in the hell would you want to save victor ? billy : look , jack , you yourself said that it was a bad idea to go picking the bones of newman during the paragon fire sale . jack : that was to make sure that jabot did n't get sideswiped by this whole mess , which it did because of greed . your greed allowed paragon to prey on us . billy : i disagree with that . ian ward came after both companies , both families . phyllis : no , correction -- he came after me , and he got me , and i am never gon na let that happen again . and i am certainly not gon na cuddle up next to victor because we both hate ian ward . billy : i 'm not talking about cuddling up here . just office space , computers while they 're rebuilding . phyllis : here in this building ? jack : you 're gon na give the keys to the kingdom to victor ? phyllis : no . this is n't about ethics . this is a romantic gesture . billy : victor 's not my type . phyllis : yeah , well , victoria is . this is her idea , is n't it ? you 're doing this for the woman you love . nick : sage is n't ready to say goodbye to christian . victoria : no , of course she 's not ready . it 's the hardest thing in the world . it makes the loss feel real and permanent . but you and i both know that it 's necessary in order to start healing . nick : i know . delaying the service is n't gon na change a thing . victoria : do you want me to talk to sage ? nick : she might feel like we 're ganging up on her . victoria : no , i do n't mean about the memorial . i mean , you know , for support , just one mother to another , just to remind her that it 's not just about saying goodbye to christian . it 's about celebrating his life and , you know , to remind her that there 's people that love you and want to see you through this . nick : might be better coming from you instead of me . you know , you said this thing the other day about leaving the hospital with things unsettled . [ sighs ] i just -- i hate the thought of that , because then the service becomes this big looming thing that can crush us . victoria : let me try with sage . nick : whatever you can do . victoria : okay . summer : dad . adam : michael , can she do this ? christine : yes , she can . the law 's on my side , and michael knows it . michael : you could have given me more time to take my argument before a judge . christine : if you want to fight , fight . but adam fled custody when he left the hospital , regardless of the reason , and i gave him another night in the hospital to recuperate . i was under no obligation to do that . i would say that the state has been very generous with your client . chelsea : hmm , yeah , generous . was this before or after he was hit by a car while in your custody ? christine : i 'll give them a chance to say their goodbyes , but your client is gon na start serving his sentence today . [ door opens ] michael : if i had known sooner . i am so sorry . i was blindsided . damn . she 's a good d.a . chelsea : so he really has to go ? michael : i 'm afraid so . i 'll give you two some time . adam : thank you . [ door opens ] adam : i 'm , uh ... chelsea : just -- no . just hold me . michael : you go after an injured man who risked his life to save people ? since when did you become a bully ? christine : [ scoffs ] michael : look , this could be a huge p.r . nightmare for you . christine : a pr nightmare is a convicted felon who escaped custody after evading prosecution for two years for killing a child . people know who and what adam newman is , and you ca n't whitewash him with a couple of good deeds . and by the way , i do n't do what i do for the p.r . i respect the law , and i believe that people should be accountable for their crimes . i thought you knew that about me . michael : i do know you . i know what you went through last year . i know what you and paul went through 20 years ago . hit - and - runs are very personal for you , maybe too personal for this case . christine : not one more word about my motives . just remember i can still have you charged for aiding and abetting your client 's escape . luca : victor and i were talking business . my family wants to help him during this difficult time . marisa : your family only helps themselves . so , what is it that they want ? luca : sometimes you forget that there are worse people out there than my family . you gave our child away to protect her from them , and see how that turned out ? marisa : no , see , i ca n't say that for myself because you wo n't tell me where my daughter is . and what kind of father knows his daughter is with horrible people and does n't try to save her himself ? luca : i 'm not a father because you never gave me the chance . you rejected me and my family . you thought we were the worst thing that could happen to you or a child . now you know what your decision cost you . marisa : you 're right . you 're right . i made a mistake trusting marco to protect my daughter . our daughter . and i have been unfair to your family . i understand them better knowing noah 's grandfather . victor and your father are a lot alike . some would say ruthless , but they would do anything for family . luca : you just have to say his name , do n't you ? marisa : noah 's ? luca , i do n't want to fight . i am tired of fighting and fires and terrible news . tonight i just want to forget anything that is n't wonderful and fun . let 's -- take me dancing . like we used to do . dinner and drinks . we 'll dance all night until we 're too tired to move or think . luca : i have things to do . but ... since you insist on saying his name , here 's a name for you . eva . marisa : eva ? luca : that 's what they call her . your daughter . marisa : eva . nick : thank you both for coming . summer : yeah , dad . of course . i mean , we 'd camp out here if you 'd let us . and you know faith would , too . nick : how 's she doing ? noah : she still does n't know . nick : i got to be the one to tell her about her baby brother . but i do n't know how to do it . i was n't even here . i was at the newman tower . when i got back , it was too late . noah : dad , do n't do that . the way that you say it -- summer : it 's like you 're -- it 's like you 're blaming yourself , dad . you ca n't do that . the doctors were here . nick : i promised christian that i would always be there for him . summer : and you were . noah : our little brother had the best father anybody could ask for . and you need to know that . nick : thanks . all right , um , i 'm gon na go talk to the minister and tell him there might be a service after all . summer : i - i can go with you if you want . nick : thanks . i need to do this alone . summer : okay . love you . [ cell phone chimes ] noah : um , i need to take care of this . will you text me if they decide to go ahead with the service ? i 'll get here as soon as i can . summer : yeah . noah : thank you . summer : yeah . victoria : i know that a memorial to you might be scary and it might not provide the closure , but at least it 's a chance for you to say goodbye . sage : [ sobbing ] but i do n't want to say goodbye . i do n't want to . i want him here with me . i want to wake up every day and see his face . i want to watch him grow and play and smile . and i want to hold him . victoria : i know . i wanted the same thing for my daughter , eve . she was premature just like christian , but she was n't as strong as christian . she could n't fight , and she left this world way too early . sage : why are you making this about you ? this is my baby , my loss , my decision , not yours . do n't you dare say this is the same thing . phyllis : so , this is how you 're proving your love ? `` let me save your daddy `` ? billy : ugh . i 'm certain i 've never referred to victor as daddy . jack : billy , why are you riding the white horse ? billy : that 's a valid question . look , newman is more than just snidely . it 's -- it 's victoria and chelsea , abby , nick , who 's going through hell right now and does n't need to be worried about work , too . phyllis : we heard about the baby . it 's heartbreaking . jack : i 'm pretty sure the last thing on nick 's mind right now is newman . phyllis : i agree , and humoring victor is not gon na ease nick 's pain right now . jack : besides , given the condition that newman is in right now , we have a good chance of getting chelsea and abby back here . billy : now 's who 's picking the newman carcass ? i just went after subsidiaries . you 're going after actual people . jack : they 're the most valuable asset . i think ashley would agree with that . billy : who is unreachable . and this thing 's on a clock . look , newman needs a place to start rebuilding now . phyllis : oh , pl -- let them use the ranch . or how about their stables ? i think that would be much better . billy : you know how all those people got out of that burning building ? by working together . now , look , i 'm not talking about holding hands and banging drums and sharing feelings , but how about we do n't be jerks ? jack : all right . so we do n't be jerks . we share our office space with newman . phyllis : hello ! do i get a vote ? because i vote for being a jerk . jack : i 'm pretty sure this is not gon na happen . victor loathes charity . billy : right , right , which is why you ca n't position this as charity . jack : wait . me ? billy : yeah , i kind of failed to mention that . you 're the only person who could convince victor this is a good idea , so good luck with that . phyllis : [ scoffs ] victor : hold it a minute , please . according to the judge , my son is n't going anywhere . mat for victor so he can exploit the phyllis : you want jack to personally lay out the welcome mat for victor so he can exploit our overly generous hospitality ? billy : look , jack said it himself . victor wo n't take charity . so , he has to make it clear that this is just an act of business camaraderie . jack : billy 's right . it has to come from me . phyllis : you both know where i stand on this . billy : i may have missed it . could you lay it out for me again ? phyllis : you know , you 're pretty irritating sometimes . you know that ? billy : yeah . [ cell phone chimes ] phyllis : all right , that 's summer . uh , she needs me . i will see both of you at the hospital chapel later . jack : i 'll walk you out . phyllis : okay . i really hope that this is part of your plan . you promised payback after marco . i did not forget that , so do n't you , either . christine : everyone , just wait a second while i have a chance to read this . victor : well , let me paraphrase , okay ? the prison sentence stands , but adam has been granted a few days so that he can heal from the wounds that he incurred while saving people 's lives . chelsea : so he -- he can stay ? christine : [ sighs ] for now . please have the prisoner brought back to his room . he remains cuffed to the bed . chelsea : thank you . thank you . christine : this is a travesty of justice . victor : i disagree with you . i think it is justice . he saved lives . he risked his own life to save others . he deserves a few days off . [ door opens ] adam : thank you for that . victor : you deserve this , son . you saved a lot of people 's lives . besides , this will give us a chance to work with michael on an appeal . you mark my word . we will win . noah : hey , what 's wrong ? you okay ? marisa : there 's something going on in luca 's mind . he 's shutting me out . he 's saying i have to live with my decisions . noah : [ sighs ] he knows . marisa : what ? noah : about us at the benefit . he knows . marisa : what did he say ? noah : `` i know . i 'll make sure it wo n't happen again . `` that kind of thing . damn it . i 'm sorry . marisa : noah , if -- if he knows i broke our deal , he 'll punish me . he wo n't tell me where my eva is . noah : eva ? marisa : that 's her name . that 's what they call my daughter . noah : it 's nice . that 'll help kevin find her . marisa : it may help , but it 's taking too long . i do n't have time for him to search every corner of the internet . my daughter does not have that time . noah : you do n't know how long it 's gon na take . marisa : no , you do n't know . you have no idea what it 's like to be separated from your child . noah : well , i just came from the hospital , and i had to listen to my father grieve the death of his infant son , so ... i kind of have an idea . victoria : i swear i 'm not trying to compare our losses . this is heartbreaking . and i 'm really just here to let you know that i know what you 're going through . i mean , this heartache , it 's always gon na be there . but the feeling that you 're not gon na survive -- it 's gon na fade away . it 's gon na become something less brutal . sage : but you get to go home to johnny and katie , and reed will come visit . three kids . you have three beautiful , perfect children . of course you can go on . christian was my miracle , my only chance , and he 's gone . victoria : i 'm sure that nick never mentioned this , but the doctors told me that i would never have children . johnny 's not my biological child , but katherine -- she was a surprise blessing . sage : a miracle . victoria : yeah . a miracle . sage : christian was mine . and who gets a second miracle , victoria ? not people like me . i left him . i walked out of this hospital , and my baby -- my miracle -- was not here when i got back . victoria : i know . i know . you know , nick 's feeling the loss , too . neither one of you got to say goodbye . i know the memorial is just -- is not the same , but at least -- at least it 's something . sage , nick needs this . he needs you . do n't lose each other in this . you 've already lost too much . and remember that you made a miracle , and remember that nick loves you . nick : i was n't sure if victoria should come . sage : i was awful to her , just like i was to you , and i 'm so sorry . please forgive me . nick : i 'm sorry , too . the last thing i want is for this to be harder than it already is for either one of us . sage : it 's not hard . it 's impossible . nick : i know . we just got to take it one step at a time . this memorial can be whenever or however you want it to be . sage : [ voice breaking ] i do n't want it to be . nick : i know you do n't . but christian was here . he came into this world . he was taken from us way too soon , but he was here , and we need to find some way to honor that , to mark the moment . these -- these rituals exist for a reason . sage : we should be celebrating his christening , nick . christian should be in our arms , and the priest should be asking god to look over him . we should be paying tribute to his birth , his amazing existence . we should be planning his future . nick : we never got that chance . sage : no , we did n't , because he 's gone , and he 's not coming back . so i do n't need to mark this day . i do n't need a reminder . i will never , ever forget this day . but i think that you should go . if it brings you peace , even for just a second , you should go . but i 'm not gon na be there . nick : sage , i promise you , if you do n't go to this , you will regret it for the rest of your life . [ voice breaking ] we were n't there for him the night he passed . but we can be there for him for this . sage : i 'm not going . please respect my decision . i think you should go to the memorial . but you 're gon na go without me . marisa : my heart breaks for your father and sage and for christian 's entire family . noah : i left my dad to be here . i need to get back to the hospital , okay ? marisa : would you like me to come with you ? noah : no , you do n't have to do that . it 's just family . marisa : luca , i need you to meet me right now in our suite . victor : you got in league with the devil . adam : if i knew he was back in town , i would have done ... victor : i know you would have stopped him . i know that now . anyway , get some rest , okay ? you too , chelsea . i 'll keep you informed about the appeal , okay ? [ door opens ] [ door closes ] chelsea : [ sighs ] adam : did that just happen ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] it did . adam : huh . chelsea : and if you did n't believe it before , you should believe it now . your father loves you . victor : michael . michael : victor . um , please know how sorry lauren and i are about the passing of your grandson . victor : oh . [ sighs ] wish there were more i could do for nicholas . but maybe now i can do something for my other son . i think the verdict against adam needs to be reversed . i think we need to pay attention to the appeal , okay ? michael : it 's a long shot . victor : i know it 's a long shot , but i have something in mind . jack : well , i guess i 'm on . billy : go get him , tiger . jack : michael . michael : jack , good to see you . excuse me . jack : victor , my heart goes out to you and your family . the loss of a child wounds like nothing else . victor : i appreciate the sentiment , jack . what else do you want ? jack : to help raise newman enterprises from the ashes . summer : dad has this look in his eyes . it 's more than grief . this is n't the first time he 's had to suffer this way . phyllis : when nick lost cassie . something broke inside of him . yeah , him having to go through this again , i ... summer : i know that i ca n't fix it , but to -- to give him even a little relief would be something . phyllis : i know . and he knows that you 're here for him . you have no idea what that means to him . you just stay close . and you talk when he wants to talk and stay quiet when there 's nothing else to say . let him hug you , 'cause he 's gon na need a lot of love through this . all right ? summer : okay . i love you . and i 'm really , really lucky to have you as my dad . and i 'm really sorry that you 're hurting right now . nick : thanks . i love you , too . phyllis : she 's right . nick , we ca n't fix this . it 's ... no one can fix this . but you are an amazing father with an intense capacity for fatherly devotion , and christian had that from you every second he was on this planet . and i know in my heart he felt that love . i 'm so sorry . luca : what 's so important ? marisa : it has n't been right between us , luca . this is n't how things should be . we both say things that are unfair , and if i offended you by talking about your family , i 'm sorry . okay ? it used to be easy for us to talk about everything . it should be easy again . should we toast to that ? it being easy again ? or should we toast to something else ? luca : how about you just stop lying ? adam : loves me ? i do n't know if i 'd go so far as to say that victor loves me . i think maybe there 's a newfound respect there . chelsea : no , it 's more than just respect , adam . something 's changed between the two of you . for once , you 're not pushing him away , and for once , he 's not being rude and defensive . adam : hmm . chelsea : he wants to help you , and for once , you 're actually letting him . adam : maybe . or , you know , maybe it 's just him not wanting any of his offspring to go to the big house , you know , shaming the family name ? chelsea : well , considering he 's had some of his own children arrested , i do n't think that 's what it is . adam : that 's true . chelsea : why do n't you just accept it ? i mean , this is what you 've always wanted deep down . adam : i 'm not disagreeing with you . having him on my side would be , you know ... nice . chelsea : nice ? are you being serious ? adam : you know , being able to look at him and not feeling rejected , dismissed -- that would also be ... nice , i guess . chelsea : what you did at newman tower was incredible . you were the man you 've always wanted to be . you were the man victor always hoped you would be . so just accept that . accept the reward within that . adam : well , right now , all i want to accept is this extra time i get to spend with you and connor . chelsea : it might be hard to see this right now , but we 're actually lucky . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : you know that ? because we get a future . we get to look forward to an eventual future together as a family . [ sighs ] but nick and sage ? it 's so awful . nick said that they 're not sure they can have the memorial for christian today because sage -- she just ... she ca n't handle it . jack : newman enterprises and jabot have shared office space before . it would n't be unprecedented . victor : i 'm not in the habit of making the same mistake twice , jack . jack : it 's merely a practical matter . victor : hmm . jack : look , newman enterprises employs a great many people in this town . it seems to me it would be in everyone 's best interest if the company were back in fighting shape . victor : hmm . and for that , i need your help ? jack : paragon had your company on its knees long before your offices became a disaster area . this is simply a practical matter . you need the infrastructure of an established office . you do n't have time to set up an open space from scratch . victor : and you know what i need ? do n't try to play hero with me . jack : you 're really gon na let your pride get in the way of what 's best for your company ? victor : now , you know better than anyone i 've rebuilt my company several times . and i will do it again . just watch me . marisa : you want to talk about the truth ? okay . you saw me sneak off to be with noah , did n't you ? and you did n't say a word . now you want to punish me . luca : we had an agreement . marisa : you wanted me in your suite . i 'm in your suite . you wanted a month to remember why we were together . is that all you thought it would take ? a month ? to forget everything your family did to me , to forget how you sided with them ? you know why i 'm here . i am here so you can tell me where my daughter is . your daughter . where is she ? where 's eva ? luca : the point was for us to be a family . marisa : tell me where she is ! luca : what do you care ? you do n't even want to know . marisa : of course i do ! that 's all that i want ! luca : but you did n't want it enough . you wanted to have sex with noah more . congratulations . you made your choice . and i 've made mine . noah : hey , dad . summer texted me . you going through with the service ? nick : yeah , this needs to happen today . phyllis : i can get sage if that 's what you want me to do . nick : she 's not coming . she ca n't , so i have to say goodbye to christian for both of us . [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] adam : hey . sage : what ? did you escape custody again ? or am i so pathetic you got special dispensation ? go away , please . adam : i 'm actually working the buddy system . my guard 's right outside , so do n't try anything . i 'm sorry , sage . sage : like you give a damn . adam : i 'm here , are n't i ? sage : yeah , you 're here because it 's all about you . if i learned one thing today , it 's that people make everything about themselves . their pain , their loss , their guilt . adam : i 'm -- i 'm trying to apologize to you , okay ? the only reason you 're in this town is because of me , and if that had n't happened -- sage : what happened is that i met your brother and i convinced myself that it was fate , that i could save him , he could save me from loneliness and having no one and nothing to call my own . but that 's all gone now , and i 'm back to where i started , are n't i ? with nothing . adam : come on , sage . do n't say that . that 's not true . sage : you 'll never get it . you 'll never understand . you 're a newman . you can play the black sheep all you want . does n't matter . christian was mine . my family , my blood . and now he 's gone . and now nick can go back to his life and be with his family and his children . is that where he is right now ? and i 'm stuck here with nothing because my baby is gone . victoria : jack just made you an offer , one that shows real kindness and respect , and you 're turning him down ? victor : did you know about this scheme of his ? billy : it 's not a scheme . it 's just an act of decency . victor : and you were in on it , were n't you , victoria ? that proves that the offer is insincere . victoria : and here 's the proof you 're as stubborn as a mule . victor : this is still my company . i make the decisions . jack : it is a practical solution to your problems . victor : billy boy , this is your way of getting a piece of newman ? victoria : a piece of what , dad ? a company that is still smoldering as we speak ? jack reached out to you . he made the first move . accepting it does n't mean that you 're weak . it shows that you 're rational and human . victor : it 's a matter of a building , a few computers , a few desks . that can easily be arranged . victoria : and apparently you 're still incapable of taking my advice . go ahead , dad . fine . have at it . rebuild newman without me . jack : well done . you said you wanted to rebuild newman all by your lonesome . you may just get your wish . victor : you bet .

[ chuckles ] sharon : your daddy -- he has a good reason to be angry at me . i - i 've made some mistakes . faith : daddy always says you should forgive people . sharon : that 's true . faith : so , then just say you 're sorry . sharon : i did , but sometimes that 's just not enough . faith , do you remember the time when you took summer 's diary and you lied about it ? okay . well , you said you were sorry , and i believed you meant it , but i still had to punish you . faith : so , daddy 's punishing you ? sharon : oh , sweetie . noah : so , this mystery woman -- did she , uh , have a name ? nick : you know , i did n't ask . i was too busy screaming in pain . noah : well , what did she look like ? maybe i can track her down and thank her . what is that ? nick : it 's from your mother 's attorney . noah : it looks official . nick : yeah . she 's decided to fight me on my bid for full custody of faith , so she filed a countersuit . noah : well , i did n't know about any of this . what -- nick : i can not believe sharon wants to turn this into an ugly battle . noah : an ugly battle ? dad , what did you think she was gon na do ? did you seriously expect mom to just -- to give up her daughter without a fight ? sage : let go . adam : i ca n't believe me returning to my family depends on a 300-year - old woman who hates me and a dog that hates me even more . sage : i do n't think that bugatti hates you . adam : [ sighs ] that mongrel is the one that led you to that injured guy in the woods who turned out to be - surprise , surprise -- my brother nick . sage : well , it was a stroke of luck that we found your brother . adam : a stroke of incredibly bad luck that you found my brother . sage : what 's the matter with you ? ! he is your brother -- your brother ! who knows how long he could have survived out there or bad his injuries were ? ! i need to call and check on him . adam : no , listen -- you already called for somebody , all right ? you 've done enough . he 's gon na be fine . trust me . i 'm sure my dad 's already flown in doctors from switzerland or sweden or wherever the hell he gets his specialists from nowadays . they 've probably built him a bionic leg by now . would n't surprise me if my father 's hired a troubadour to write a folk song about the day that nick was rescued from the bear trap . sage : you know , it 's strange seeing another man 's reaction on gabriel 's face . it 's very unfamiliar . adam : really ? sage : yeah . adam : frustration ? are you trying to tell me that gabriel 's never been annoyed before ? sage : oh , no , no . absolutely . adam : really ? okay . then what is it that 's so unfamiliar that you 're seeing , huh ? sage : fear . billy : i was trying to sneak out of here with these cigars . chelsea : you thought i 'd be upset ? billy : as if you could n't handle me wanting to share this with my family and being happy that i 'm a dad again . chelsea : have i done anything to make you think that way ? billy : no . no . see , that 's the thing , chels -- you have n't done anything . you 've been great through all of this . i 've been the one who 's acting like i 've got something to hide , which i do n't . chelsea : no , you do n't , so then why are you acting that way ? billy : it 's abby . she 's got this misguided notion about victoria and me -- that we 're destined to be together , especially now that we know that the baby is mine . she was yapping about it the other day , and i - i just thought that -- chelsea : you thought maybe i felt the same way as abby ? billy : which you do n't , obviously . i mean , you -- you do n't , right ? chelsea : no , i - i do n't , but now that the baby 's here , it -- billy : it 's just gon na add fuel to abby 's fire , and other people might start chiming in . chelsea : and how are you gon na handle that , billy ? billy : by being unfailingly honest with you . chelsea : can you do that ? billy : you make me want to try . chelsea : look , you do n't have to bend over backwards to reassure me or censor yourself or disguise how happy you are . i mean , do n't you know i am so , so truly happy for you ? come on . here you go . billy : [ chuckles ] okay . all right . so , this is us not getting drawn into other people 's garbage , especially abby 's ? chelsea : especially abby 's . billy : all right . chelsea : katherine rose . that 's a beautiful name . billy : chels ... chelsea : go . take these cigars and hand them out . bye . [ sighs ] adam : that 's -- that 's hilarious . you think i 'm afraid of my brother nick ? sage : well , of course . you were spooked when we found him . you wo n't even let me call to check on him . adam : well , yeah . that 's because i 've gone to great lengths to reclaim my life , sage . sage : why do you want to reclaim a life when you 're afraid that your own brother might recognize you ? ! adam : i 'm not afraid of anything ! sage : he 's your brother ! does n't he love you or at least like you ? ! adam : if you only knew . sage : if i only knew ? there are apparently a lot of things i do n't know . why do n't you fill me in ? adam : because my past is of no consequence . sage : but your brother 's life is , right ? do n't you even care if he 's all right ? do n't you even think that there might be a complication from the injury ? what ? ! adam : let it go . sage : no . there is obviously bad blood here . what the hell did he do to you ? adam : you want to know what he did that was so bad ? you want to know what my perfect brother did ? he did everything right -- that 's what he did . he could do no wrong . he was the guy that my father wanted to join the family business . he begged him to come back , even though he had no talent for it , clearly did n't have the stomach for it ! who cares ? ! sage : well , what part of that do n't you like -- the fact that your dad wanted him to have it or that he did n't want to have any part of it ? ! adam : no , i think it 's great , sage ! i think it 's wonderful , and i wish them both just the best of luck , you know ? sage : look , if you want me to keep your secrets here , you 've got to start filling me -- adam : your questions about my relationship with my brother are insignificant . sage : how do you figure that ? adam : and they 're counterproductive . sage : all right . how do you figure that ? ! adam : your job -- sage : no , my job is to run the house here ! you are not my employer ! you do not tell me what my responsibilities are ! adam : i expect you to do exactly what you 've agreed to do and what you 've chosen to do , which is tell me everything there is to know about being gabriel bingham . phyllis : i hate this feeling . you know , i close my eyes for what i thought was a few hours , and then i woke up a year later in this extremely strange land . jack : hey , some things have n't changed . phyllis : everything has changed , jack . even the people i trusted and counted on were n't honest with me . jack : remember , the doctors recommended that we -- phyllis : i 'm not blaming you for the things you 've withheld or being sensitive about how my comeback is affecting other people you care about . jack : other people ? phyllis : like billy . jack : oh . phyllis : you 're standing up for your brother , and that 's one of the many , many things i love about you . jack : well , good . then you understand . phyllis : oh , yes , i do understand , but i need you to understand that i am well enough and strong enough to start seizing control of my life . that is what i 'm doing here , and if it makes people uncomfortable -- jack : you 've never let that get in your way in the past . what if i were to suggest a way , though , that you could re - enter the workforce in a way that would be beneficial to everyone involved ? billy : hey ! cigars all around . jack : hey , hey , hey , hey ! there 's the proud papa ! congratulations ! phyllis : congratulations , billy . you and victoria must be so excited . billy : oh , we are . phyllis : how 's victoria ? jack : how 's the baby ? i saw pictures . she is gorgeous . billy : yeah . yeah . she is . mother and child are doing great . jack : what are you doing here ? you do n't have to be at work . billy : well , i know , but the baby was with victoria , and i thought i 'd put in a few hours . phyllis : thank you . well , you know what ? you are gon na have a lot of time to spend with your precious bundle . i 'm taking my job back . billy : [ chuckles nervously ) how are you ? chelsea : good ! how are you ? chelsea : hey ! kevin : hey ! how are you ? chelsea : good ! how are you ? kevin : good . chelsea : hi . kevin : hey . well , i hope you have gps on this stroller . chelsea : why 's that ? kevin : well , according to the sign , there are miles and miles of christmas trees . chelsea : aww . that 's just hype . you look happy . kevin : yeah . yeah . i was , um -- i was laughing this morning and thinking , `` wow , it 's been a while . `` chelsea : yeah . the holidays can be hard . kevin : missing people -- blah . i do n't have to tell you about that . chelsea : well , all we can do is move forward , right ? kevin : yeah . and you are the perfect example of exactly how to do that . so , is billy gon na come and meet you and cut a tree -- do all that ? chelsea : uh , oh . i - i guess you have n't heard . victoria 's baby turned out to be billy 's . she had a little girl . kevin : oh , wow ! chelsea : yeah -- katherine rose . kevin : [ chuckles ] delia 's favorite flower . wow . billy must be -- chelsea : yeah , he 's -- he 's over the moon . he 's handing out candy cigars . [ chuckles ] kevin : what a difference a year makes -- right ? -- for some of us . chelsea : i 'm happy for billy . and we 're fine . we really are . billy : and when did you decide this , jack ? jack : i did n't . phyllis : there was nothing to decide . jack : you know what ? we can all sit down and -- phyllis : r & d was my department , and it 's not as if i decided to leave . jack : no , everyone understands this was beyond your control . phyllis : and i am taking back what was taken from me . billy : i 'm sorry -- taken from you ? jack : that is not the situation . billy did that as a favor to me . phyllis : and that was very generous of you , so consider your favor fulfilled . i am thanking you . billy : wait a minute . jack : you know what ? this is a very complicated situation . all of us need to sit down and work through -- phyllis : it 's pretty straightforward . what exactly did you expect , billy ? billy : phyllis , i know that you 've been trying to put your life back together , but you 're not the only one . it 's not like i 've been sitting around here collecting a paycheck . jack : what this job meant to billy -- his dedication to it -- has been a major asset for jabot . billy : and this is my family 's company . phyllis : which is why you were tapped to fill in . billy : i was offered the job because i 'm good at it . phyllis : yes , you are very good at it , and we 're gon na find you something else . billy : i have been developing this department . phyllis : which will give me a lot to work with , and i appreciate it very much . jack : [ whistles ] noah : i understand that you 're upset with mom and you 're hurt . nick : and i have good reason to be . noah : but have n't you always told me that , no matter what , you would work with mom to do what 's best for faith ? nick : this is what 's best . noah : but taking her away from her mother , dad -- for what , payback ? nick : this is n't about getting back at sharon . this is about faith and doing what is best for her . noah : do you really believe that ? nick : yeah , i do . noah : i get that mom lied . i do . i get it . nick : son , it 's not just about sharon lying . it is the number of people she hurt in the process and how long those lies dragged on . noah : she was sick , dad , and she warned you . how many times did she warn you that she was afraid of hurting you ? nick : she was right . noah : but you were the one that said that that did n't matter , that you wanted to be with her no matter what , that you loved her that much . nick : and that is why this is so hard -- because i believed sharon . but now i do n't know . i mean , how much of it was the sickness and how much of it was just perpetuating these lies that cost me my daughter ? noah : what if it was all the sickness ? nick : well , then she was unwilling or unable to get the help that she needed . noah : like a person having a seizure or a stroke ? nick : she did n't stay on her meds . what is to keep her from doing that again while faith is in the house ? noah : mom 's prepared now . so are we . nick : look , noah , there comes a time in your life when you have to do what is best for you and your family , and i need to protect my family , and that 's what i 'm doing . i 'm protecting faith from her mother . sharon : your daddy 's not trying to punish me . you know , we may disagree or get angry with each other -- sometimes grown - ups do that -- but we 're still a family , and we -- mariah : yup ! that means you 're stuck with us , squirt . come here . did you forget that it was you and i this afternoon , huh ? do you know what we 're gon na be doing ? dress - up ! we 're gon na be rocking the steampunk look in honor of the holidays , so i want you to run upstairs and i want you to get all the leather and belts and buckles and scarves that you can find , okay ? faith : okay . mariah : scram . sharon : thank you for that . i 'm so glad faith has you . mariah : well , i 'm here now . you can head off to your jabot gig . sharon : um , actually , i wo n't need you to babysit . i was just about to call them and cancel . mariah : why ? sharon : i do n't think i can deal with it . mariah : oh , i see . so , you want nick to get full custody of faith ? jack : yelling is n't going to get us anywhere . i believe we can come up with a mutually agreeable solution . billy : look , phyllis , i did n't mean to go off on you . this job -- jack asked me to step up when i had something i had to prove . phyllis : to victoria , after you slept with kelly ? jack : [ sighs ] billy : it 's even more important that i keep working now that i know that the baby is mine , to show that i meant all those promises that i made -- that i can be the father that johnny and little katie deserve . jack : your ability to be a great father was never in question . phyllis : just how faithful you could be to the woman you love . jack : [ sighs ] billy : yeah . you know what ? that , too , all right ? so , jack , i 'm willing to step aside . whatever . jack : okay . that 's a possible solution . phyllis can head up r & d , and you can head up the fashion division . billy : fashion ? have you -- have you run that by neil ? jack : actually , neil brought it to me . he thinks we should hire a replacement that 's more on a permanent basis until he can come back , and i said i would do it for the sake of the company . billy : okay , but what happens if neil gets better ? jack : we 'll rethink things . phyllis : neil is a valuable asset . jack : yes , and he will work with the new head of fashion . i did not agree with him that you were the best option , though . i actually had someone else in mind -- someone with style , taste , and flair and tons of energy . but if you 'd rather sit behind a desk -- phyllis : jack ... do you really think it is that easy to manage me ? mariah : no . i get it . gc buzz broke the story about how you were there the night that phyllis took her tumble down the stairs . sharon : that story was lacking facts . mariah : but it was full of nasty innuendos . and when you show up at work today , people are gon na stare . people are gon na be talking behind your back , especially those airheaded models -- no offense to nick 's daughter . well , actually , summer is pretty offensive . you know , she thinks that you do n't deserve to raise her little sister , and right now , you are proving her and nick right . sharon : that 's not true . mariah : you would let your daughter be taken away from you , cut out from your life , because you do n't want to get your feelings hurt , because you 'd rather hole up and lick your wounds ? sharon : that 's not what i 'm doing . mariah : you fought for me when i did n't even want you to . you bailed me out , offered me help , when i told you that i hated your guts , and no matter how much nasty stuff i threw your way , you took it , sharon . you would n't let me chase you away . and if nothing else , i have to respect you for that , and now ... that little girl up there -- she worships you . she does n't need you to be perfect . she needs you to show up . she needs you to be her mom . noah : dad , do you really think that you need to protect faith from mom ? nick : i defended sharon to your grandfather and everyone else . i kept telling everyone that they were wrong about her . but i was the one who was wrong the whole time . noah : dad , please do n't do this . i 've seen how mom is suffering . nick : you saw her today ? noah : mariah and i had thanksgiving with her . look , i was hoping that you 'd go out in the woods , be by yourself , and that maybe you 'd gain some perspective . nick : [ chuckles ] i had several perspectives from the various women in my life . the night of the accident , i had this strange dream . it was like this crazy movie playing out in my head -- all the different relationships i 've ever had , how they 'd gone wrong . what became clear was the part i played . noah : what do you mean ? nick : with your mother , all the signs were there . i just did n't want to see them . i had all these expectations . they all fell apart , but it was clear . i mean , it was my fault , too . noah : then you walked in to a bear trap . how did that woman get you out ? nick : you know ... i think there was this guy there , too . i ca n't be sure about the guy , but i know the woman was there . noah : angel of mercy ? nick : yeah . she took off before i had a chance to get her name . i need to find her . i want to thank her . noah : why do n't you get some sleep first , all right ? and think . you have more important things to worry about . nick : okay . thanks , dude . noah : yeah . see you , dad . nick : see you . sage : hey . adam : hey . sage : constance was asking for you . she 's having a bad day . adam : all right . well , you know , you 're gon na have to come up with some excuse why i 'm unavailable today . i 'm not doing that . sage : where are you going ? adam : my brother , the do - gooder -- he 's gon na call the cops . sage : so what ? about some idiot who set a bear trap ? that 's nothing to do with us . adam : no . they 're gon na come here , sage . they 're gon na start asking questions . they 're gon na nose around . they 're gon na get suspicious . sage : are you afraid of a couple questions ? adam : it 's an unnecessary risk , you know ? you never know what they 're gon na intuit , what questions they 're gon na ask . the dog could turn me in . it 's just a risk we do n't need to take . sage : so , you 're just gon na go ? adam : it 's time . mariah : hey ! lookin ' good ! sharon : thanks for what you said earlier . noah : wow ! nicely done , mom ! sharon : thank you . noah : i just wanted to let you know that dad 's back . mariah : would it have broken his arm to call her himself ? noah : right . well , he was in the hospital . sharon : what ? ! is he -- noah : oh , yeah -- treated and released . his leg got snagged by a bear trap . sharon : oh , my god ! mariah : [ laughing ] who does that ? noah : right . well , uh , he had a pretty rough night , but he 's gon na be fine . sharon : are you sure ? noah : yeah . i just wanted to let you know why he was n't in touch . i was hoping that some time away would give him some perspective . sharon : do you think he might reconsider this custody fight ? noah : i 'm hoping that it does n't come to that . sharon : what did he say exactly ? mariah : hey , what time do you have to be at jabot ? sharon : um ... oh , i should get going . mariah : you 're gon na kill it . sharon : i hope so ! mariah : [ chuckles ] noah : good luck . sharon : bye ! mariah : bye . good luck ! i walked in on her explaining to faith why her dad was being such a jerk . noah : i tried to get through to my dad , but he thinks that faith being with him is for the best . mariah : that 's what 's best -- taking her away from her mom ? noah : i feel the same way that you do about it , mariah . how is some nasty custody battle gon na help faith ? mariah : we 're gon na have to help our sister get through this . noah : yeah , we are . jack : billy , could you give us a moment ? jack : yeah , glad to . i 've got more cigars to pass out . jack : i was n't managing you . phyllis : you want me in fashion because of my energy and style ? jack : and that 's a bad thing because ... ? phyllis : because you did n't propose it to me as an option . you tried to manipulate me with it . how is that honest ? jack : the truth is i could n't say certain things in front of billy . phyllis : like what ? jack : as proud as i am of the job he did replacing you in r & d , if i make him head of fashion , i have to consider the possibility that he and chelsea are n't going to make it . and chelsea design for jabot is a potential big moneymaker for the company . phyllis : a messy breakup would be bad for business . jack : exactly ! it 's a sound business decision , not because i think you are right for the job but because of intangibles . phyllis : but ... i just ... wanted ... jack : what is it , baby ? look , you know what ? if you want to go back to r & d -- phyllis : it 's not the job . i just -- i wanted one thing to be the way it was . jack : you have me . phyllis : why me for fashion ? jack : losing neil was a big personal loss for me , and i need you there -- the way you work with people . phyllis : and ? jack : and i love you . and i want your work to be exciting and fun , inspirational . this is a high - profile position . it 's frankly a lot more powerful than r & d. do you want to stand in the background ? you could be front and center , calling the shots , setting the style . phyllis : you know me . my god , you know me . honey , if you thought i was a bitch about this ... you have n't seen anything yet . say hello to your new head of fashion . chelsea : billy and i have been completely honest with each other . kevin : good . chelsea : i know what a big deal it was for victoria to get pregnant . i mean , i - i understand that it certainly brought up emotional minefields for the both of them , but think about it -- billy and chloe were able to raise a child together while he was with victoria . i mean , they were able to successfully co - parent . kevin : that 's true . chelsea : so , it 'll be the same thing . he 'll co - parent with victoria . they will , you know , raise their child together , but billy will be with me . [ sighs ] okay . well , i got to run . merry christmas , kevin . kevin : merry christmas . [ sighs ] except the difference is billy and victoria still love each other . chelsea : [ sighs ] sage : you ca n't just walk out like this . adam : well , we both knew this day would come . sage : with no warning ? we need more time . adam : i 've already given up enough time . my brother made me realize that . i need to see my family . sage : you 're not ready ! adam : you taught me everything i need to get by as gabriel bingham . sage : what about constance ? are you just gon na abandon her ? adam : [ sighs ] i 'm not aband -- just , you know , tell that old bat that her grandson wanted to leave -- okay ? -- that he needed to rejoin the 21st century . i 'm sure she 'll understand . sage : hey , we had a deal , adam newman . jack : i can not wait to hear about your great ideas . phyllis : well , good . jack : i wish i could stay . phyllis : oh , well , you know what ? you get to that meeting while i work on my comeback . jack : you do that . phyllis : okay . bye . phyllis : sharon . what are you doing here ? sharon : i work here . i was brought on as representative and liaison to the models , and there 's a shoot today . phyllis : oh . okay . well , then , you can turn right around and walk back out that door . you 're fired . mariah : we 'll use my leather vest , okay ? ! [ knock on door ] mariah : hi . kevin : christmas magic -0- i thought you could use some ... even if you have to squint a little bit to see it . mariah : [ laughing ] oh , my gosh ! kevin : yeah . mariah : [ laughs ] chelsea : this is going to be a very merry christmas . do you know that ? huh ? huh ? should we go get some decorations upstairs ? [ thumping ] chelsea : oh . huh . who 's that at the door , huh ? who is that ? billy : i got done passing out cigars , and i wanted to get something for you . chelsea : oh , billy ... billy : it 's our first christmas together . it 's a big deal , and -- [ chuckles ] nice tree . chelsea : thanks .

[ sighs ] adam : that 's -- that 's hilarious . you think i 'm afraid of my brother nick ? sage : well , of course . you were spooked when we found him . you wo n't even let me call to check on him . adam : well , yeah . that 's because i 've gone to great lengths to reclaim my life , sage . sage : why do you want to reclaim a life when you 're afraid that your own brother might recognize you ? ! adam : i 'm not afraid of anything ! sage : he 's your brother ! does n't he love you or at least like you ? ! adam : if you only knew . sage : if i only knew ? there are apparently a lot of things i do n't know . why do n't you fill me in ? adam : because my past is of no consequence . sage : but your brother 's life is , right ? do n't you even care if he 's all right ? do n't you even think that there might be a complication from the injury ? what ? ! adam : let it go . sage : no . there is obviously bad blood here . what the hell did he do to you ? adam : you want to know what he did that was so bad ? you want to know what my perfect brother did ? he did everything right -- that 's what he did . he could do no wrong . he was the guy that my father wanted to join the family business . he begged him to come back , even though he had no talent for it , clearly did n't have the stomach for it ! who cares ? ! sage : well , what part of that do n't you like -- the fact that your dad wanted him to have it or that he did n't want to have any part of it ? ! adam : no , i think it 's great , sage ! i think it 's wonderful , and i wish them both just the best of luck , you know ? sage : look , if you want me to keep your secrets here , you 've got to start filling me -- adam : your questions about my relationship with my brother are insignificant . sage : how do you figure that ? adam : and they 're counterproductive . sage : all right . how do you figure that ? ! adam : your job -- sage : no , my job is to run the house here ! you are not my employer ! you do not tell me what my responsibilities are ! adam : i expect you to do exactly what you 've agreed to do and what you 've chosen to do , which is tell me everything there is to know about being gabriel bingham . phyllis : i hate this feeling . you know , i close my eyes for what i thought was a few hours , and then i woke up a year later in this extremely strange land . jack : hey , some things have n't changed . phyllis : everything has changed , jack . even the people i trusted and counted on were n't honest with me . jack : remember , the doctors recommended that we -- phyllis : i 'm not blaming you for the things you 've withheld or being sensitive about how my comeback is affecting other people you care about . jack : other people ? phyllis : like billy . jack : oh . phyllis : you 're standing up for your brother , and that 's one of the many , many things i love about you . jack : well , good . then you understand . phyllis : oh , yes , i do understand , but i need you to understand that i am well enough and strong enough to start seizing control of my life . that is what i 'm doing here , and if it makes people uncomfortable -- jack : you 've never let that get in your way in the past . what if i were to suggest a way , though , that you could re - enter the workforce in a way that would be beneficial to everyone involved ? billy : hey ! cigars all around . jack : hey , hey , hey , hey ! there 's the proud papa ! congratulations ! phyllis : congratulations , billy . you and victoria must be so excited . billy : oh , we are . phyllis : how 's victoria ? jack : how 's the baby ? i saw pictures . she is gorgeous . billy : yeah . yeah . she is . mother and child are doing great . jack : what are you doing here ? you do n't have to be at work . billy : well , i know , but the baby was with victoria , and i thought i 'd put in a few hours . phyllis : thank you . well , you know what ? you are gon na have a lot of time to spend with your precious bundle . i 'm taking my job back . billy : [ chuckles nervously ) how are you ? chelsea : good ! how are you ? chelsea : hey ! kevin : hey ! how are you ? chelsea : good ! how are you ? kevin : good . chelsea : hi . kevin : hey . well , i hope you have gps on this stroller . chelsea : why 's that ? kevin : well , according to the sign , there are miles and miles of christmas trees . chelsea : aww . that 's just hype . you look happy . kevin : yeah . yeah . i was , um -- i was laughing this morning and thinking , `` wow , it 's been a while . `` chelsea : yeah . the holidays can be hard . kevin : missing people -- blah . i do n't have to tell you about that . chelsea : well , all we can do is move forward , right ? kevin : yeah . and you are the perfect example of exactly how to do that . so , is billy gon na come and meet you and cut a tree -- do all that ? chelsea : uh , oh . i - i guess you have n't heard . victoria 's baby turned out to be billy 's . she had a little girl . kevin : oh , wow ! chelsea : yeah -- katherine rose . kevin : [ chuckles ] delia 's favorite flower . wow . billy must be -- chelsea : yeah , he 's -- he 's over the moon . he 's handing out candy cigars . [ chuckles ] kevin : what a difference a year makes -- right ? -- for some of us . chelsea : i 'm happy for billy . and we 're fine . we really are . billy : and when did you decide this , jack ? jack : i did n't . phyllis : there was nothing to decide . jack : you know what ? we can all sit down and -- phyllis : r & d was my department , and it 's not as if i decided to leave . jack : no , everyone understands this was beyond your control . phyllis : and i am taking back what was taken from me . billy : i 'm sorry -- taken from you ? jack : that is not the situation . billy did that as a favor to me . phyllis : and that was very generous of you , so consider your favor fulfilled . i am thanking you . billy : wait a minute . jack : you know what ? this is a very complicated situation . all of us need to sit down and work through -- phyllis : it 's pretty straightforward . what exactly did you expect , billy ? billy : phyllis , i know that you 've been trying to put your life back together , but you 're not the only one . it 's not like i 've been sitting around here collecting a paycheck . jack : what this job meant to billy -- his dedication to it -- has been a major asset for jabot . billy : and this is my family 's company . phyllis : which is why you were tapped to fill in . billy : i was offered the job because i 'm good at it . phyllis : yes , you are very good at it , and we 're gon na find you something else . billy : i have been developing this department . phyllis : which will give me a lot to work with , and i appreciate it very much . jack : [ whistles ] noah : i understand that you 're upset with mom and you 're hurt . nick : and i have good reason to be . noah : but have n't you always told me that , no matter what , you would work with mom to do what 's best for faith ? nick : this is what 's best . noah : but taking her away from her mother , dad -- for what , payback ? nick : this is n't about getting back at sharon . this is about faith and doing what is best for her . noah : do you really believe that ? nick : yeah , i do . noah : i get that mom lied . i do . i get it . nick : son , it 's not just about sharon lying . it is the number of people she hurt in the process and how long those lies dragged on . noah : she was sick , dad , and she warned you . how many times did she warn you that she was afraid of hurting you ? nick : she was right . noah : but you were the one that said that that did n't matter , that you wanted to be with her no matter what , that you loved her that much . nick : and that is why this is so hard -- because i believed sharon . but now i do n't know . i mean , how much of it was the sickness and how much of it was just perpetuating these lies that cost me my daughter ? noah : what if it was all the sickness ? nick : well , then she was unwilling or unable to get the help that she needed . noah : like a person having a seizure or a stroke ? nick : she did n't stay on her meds . what is to keep her from doing that again while faith is in the house ? noah : mom 's prepared now . so are we . nick : look , noah , there comes a time in your life when you have to do what is best for you and your family , and i need to protect my family , and that 's what i 'm doing . i 'm protecting faith from her mother . sharon : your daddy 's not trying to punish me . you know , we may disagree or get angry with each other -- sometimes grown - ups do that -- but we 're still a family , and we -- mariah : yup ! that means you 're stuck with us , squirt . come here . did you forget that it was you and i this afternoon , huh ? do you know what we 're gon na be doing ? dress - up ! we 're gon na be rocking the steampunk look in honor of the holidays , so i want you to run upstairs and i want you to get all the leather and belts and buckles and scarves that you can find , okay ? faith : okay . mariah : scram . sharon : thank you for that . i 'm so glad faith has you . mariah : well , i 'm here now . you can head off to your jabot gig . sharon : um , actually , i wo n't need you to babysit . i was just about to call them and cancel . mariah : why ? sharon : i do n't think i can deal with it . mariah : oh , i see . so , you want nick to get full custody of faith ? jack : yelling is n't going to get us anywhere . i believe we can come up with a mutually agreeable solution . billy : look , phyllis , i did n't mean to go off on you . this job -- jack asked me to step up when i had something i had to prove . phyllis : to victoria , after you slept with kelly ? jack : [ sighs ] billy : it 's even more important that i keep working now that i know that the baby is mine , to show that i meant all those promises that i made -- that i can be the father that johnny and little katie deserve . jack : your ability to be a great father was never in question . phyllis : just how faithful you could be to the woman you love . jack : [ sighs ] billy : yeah . you know what ? that , too , all right ? so , jack , i 'm willing to step aside . whatever . jack : okay . that 's a possible solution . phyllis can head up r & d , and you can head up the fashion division . billy : fashion ? have you -- have you run that by neil ? jack : actually , neil brought it to me . he thinks we should hire a replacement that 's more on a permanent basis until he can come back , and i said i would do it for the sake of the company . billy : okay , but what happens if neil gets better ? jack : we 'll rethink things . phyllis : neil is a valuable asset . jack : yes , and he will work with the new head of fashion . i did not agree with him that you were the best option , though . i actually had someone else in mind -- someone with style , taste , and flair and tons of energy . but if you 'd rather sit behind a desk -- phyllis : jack ... do you really think it is that easy to manage me ? mariah : no . i get it . gc buzz broke the story about how you were there the night that phyllis took her tumble down the stairs . sharon : that story was lacking facts . mariah : but it was full of nasty innuendos . and when you show up at work today , people are gon na stare . people are gon na be talking behind your back , especially those airheaded models -- no offense to nick 's daughter . well , actually , summer is pretty offensive . you know , she thinks that you do n't deserve to raise her little sister , and right now , you are proving her and nick right . sharon : that 's not true . mariah : you would let your daughter be taken away from you , cut out from your life , because you do n't want to get your feelings hurt , because you 'd rather hole up and lick your wounds ? sharon : that 's not what i 'm doing . mariah : you fought for me when i did n't even want you to . you bailed me out , offered me help , when i told you that i hated your guts , and no matter how much nasty stuff i threw your way , you took it , sharon . you would n't let me chase you away . and if nothing else , i have to respect you for that , and now ... that little girl up there -- she worships you . she does n't need you to be perfect . she needs you to show up . she needs you to be her mom . noah : dad , do you really think that you need to protect faith from mom ? nick : i defended sharon to your grandfather and everyone else . i kept telling everyone that they were wrong about her . but i was the one who was wrong the whole time . noah : dad , please do n't do this . i 've seen how mom is suffering . nick : you saw her today ? noah : mariah and i had thanksgiving with her . look , i was hoping that you 'd go out in the woods , be by yourself , and that maybe you 'd gain some perspective . nick : [ chuckles ] i had several perspectives from the various women in my life . the night of the accident , i had this strange dream . it was like this crazy movie playing out in my head -- all the different relationships i 've ever had , how they 'd gone wrong . what became clear was the part i played . noah : what do you mean ? nick : with your mother , all the signs were there . i just did n't want to see them . i had all these expectations . they all fell apart , but it was clear . i mean , it was my fault , too . noah : then you walked in to a bear trap . how did that woman get you out ? nick : you know ... i think there was this guy there , too . i ca n't be sure about the guy , but i know the woman was there . noah : angel of mercy ? nick : yeah . she took off before i had a chance to get her name . i need to find her . i want to thank her . noah : why do n't you get some sleep first , all right ? and think . you have more important things to worry about . nick : okay . thanks , dude . noah : yeah . see you , dad . nick : see you . sage : hey . adam : hey . sage : constance was asking for you . she 's having a bad day . adam : all right . well , you know , you 're gon na have to come up with some excuse why i 'm unavailable today . i 'm not doing that . sage : where are you going ? adam : my brother , the do - gooder -- he 's gon na call the cops . sage : so what ? about some idiot who set a bear trap ? that 's nothing to do with us . adam : no . they 're gon na come here , sage . they 're gon na start asking questions . they 're gon na nose around . they 're gon na get suspicious . sage : are you afraid of a couple questions ? adam : it 's an unnecessary risk , you know ? you never know what they 're gon na intuit , what questions they 're gon na ask . the dog could turn me in . it 's just a risk we do n't need to take . sage : so , you 're just gon na go ? adam : it 's time . mariah : hey ! lookin ' good ! sharon : thanks for what you said earlier . noah : wow ! nicely done , mom ! sharon : thank you . noah : i just wanted to let you know that dad 's back . mariah : would it have broken his arm to call her himself ? noah : right . well , he was in the hospital . sharon : what ? ! is he -- noah : oh , yeah -- treated and released . his leg got snagged by a bear trap . sharon : oh , my god ! mariah : [ laughing ] who does that ? noah : right . well , uh , he had a pretty rough night , but he 's gon na be fine . sharon : are you sure ? noah : yeah . i just wanted to let you know why he was n't in touch . i was hoping that some time away would give him some perspective . sharon : do you think he might reconsider this custody fight ?

[ scene_break ] lucy : maxie 's not coming back ? nathan : no , she was covering the associate editor 's maternity leave , but the woman is not coming back to work . the magazine offered to extend her contract until they can find a permanent replacement . dante : well , how long is that gon na take ? nathan : they do n't know . it does n't sound like she 's coming back to port charles any time soon . lucy : she 's not coming back any time soon ? how dare she ? that is so irresponsible . she promised me that this year she was gon na help me totally outdo the costumes , and ... oh -- which is secondary to the way you must be feeling . i 'm so sorry . dante : it 's no big deal . you 're gon na work it out , okay ? it 's just temporary . nathan : i do n't know , man . i mean , she was n't exactly calling to discuss her decision with me . she 'd already said yes without even talking to me . we 're supposed to be in this together , right ? [ sighs ] i -- [ sighs ] how can i blame her ? you know , she likes the work , and she gets to be near georgie . lucy : well , right . most mothers would jump at that chance . nathan : what if she 's -- if she decides to stay in portland for good ? dante : then , you 'll figure it out . people manage long - distance relationships all the time . lucy : yeah . yeah , kevin and i , we managed it while we were married . i mean , he was in seattle for months at a time . [ chuckles ] nathan : you guys ' marriage was okay ? lucy : well ... [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] diane : well , i see we 're the only ones who bothered to be on time . good -- gives me a chance to try to get through to you . carly : do n't bet on it . diane : of all people , carly , you understand how much sonny needs his legitimate business assets . carly : and of all people , you know better than anyone that the documents where sonny signed all over to me , they are airtight . diane : because he trusts you implicitly . carly : well , okay , i trusted sonny until he had josslyn 's father arrested . and when that did n't work , he had jax deported . diane : okay , i 'm not defending sonny 's actions . carly : good ! diane : but , of all people , jasper jacks is least in need of help . i - i 'm sure he 's got a team of lawyers even now , as we speak , negotiating with the government . i give it a year , maybe two , before he 's allowed back in the country . carly : okay . so , when jax is allowed back in the united states , i will give everything back to sonny . diane : and in the meantime ? carly : in the meantime , sonny can live , i do n't know , on the island . he can live in mexico , costa rica . he has tens of millions of dollars in mob money . he will be just fine . diane : without his children ? without you ? carly : oh , sonny 's not gon na miss me . diane : if we were in court right now , i 'd accuse you of perjury , and i 'd be right 'cause you 're lying , and you know you 're lying . sonny is gon na miss you , carly . he 's going to miss you like a drowning man misses oxygen ! carly : [ sighs ] diane : sonny is a powerful man . he 's intelligent . he 's ruthless . he 's also deeply , deeply flawed . he 's always his own worst enemy . and you are the only person who has ever been able to save him from himself . he 's had a good , long run in port charles . for over 20 years , he has controlled all the crime activity . how has he managed to do that ? hm ? one person -- you . you ! carly : di -- diane : every time sonny falls apart , you are the only one who can put him back together again . you took him for better or worse , carly . now , yes , it 's a very simple thing to dissolve a marriage , okay ? but you are never gon na dissolve this relationship . so the best thing for both of you is just to compromise . carly : [ sniffles ] diane : go to neutral corners until one of you is in dire straits , which , knowing the two of you , will be next week . carly : [ chuckles ] you 're really right about that one . diane : of course , i am ! good . good . all right . so , we can just , um ... forget about all this ... [ door opens ] diane : before everything goes too far . oh , good , good , you 're here .

[ scene_break ] laura : samira was working for larry ? dillon : do n't feel bad , laura . we all fell for it , even my mom . she was ready to give samira the painting even after the dna test proved that samira was not a quartermaine . monica : oh , dr. finn , about that dna test -- finn : hm ? tracy : monica ! monica : just let me finish . you made a judgment call . it was the right one . and on behalf of my entire family , thank you . finn : you 're welcome . monica : do n't do it again . finn : right . laura : tracy , uh , if i may ? tracy : by all means . laura : um , ned , first of all , thank you so much for figuring out that scam so your mother did n't have to give up her painting , but , tracy ... [ breathes deeply ] i want to compliment you for being willing to sacrifice something that meant so much to you to help another woman in need . tracy : you did n't think i had it in me . laura : actually , i did . i just thought it 's a matter of time before you figured that out . tracy : some of you do not know that laura was kind enough to come with me to turkey and help me claim the painting . she was with me when the abbot gave me the letter from my father . [ inhales deeply ] in it ... my f - father told me that he loved me . that may sound simple . but when it came to my father and me , it was anything but . that letter set me free . [ scene_break ] lucy : do not take what happened to `` doc `` and me to heart . you know , we are just one couple , and i 'm sure there are lots and lots of couples that do that whole long - distance thing . i mean , i do n't know any . i ca n't -- i ca n't think of any right offhand , but -- well , anyway , the point is the whole break - up thing was my fault . actually , there was a lot of lying and cheating and infidelity and ... oh , boy , i am not making you feel better at all , am i ? nathan : no , lucy , not so much . lucy : okay , then , i 'm gon na take my little self to the ballroom and extract my foot from my mouth . ta . [ sighs ] nathan : [ clears throat ] dante : look , dude , you and maxie are nothing like them , okay ? you feel any different about maxie that you guys have been apart this whole time ? nathan : of course not . dante : then , you have to think that she feels the exact same way . nathan : yeah . well , i do n't know , man . she was -- she was pretty quick to agree to stay . dante : well , sure , it 's a great job opportunity , like you said . but she probably feels that your marriage can handle it . dude , anyone who 's seen you two together knows you guys are solid , okay ? nathan : yeah . solid . [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i mean , was there a reason why i could n't take off my ring ? carly : no . no . no reason at all .

[ scene_break ] kiki : you know what ? this actually is beyond inappropriate on my part . carly : no , wait . it 's not , okay ? it 's really not . i thought there would be some kind of closure , something , when sonny and i found out who was responsible for morgan 's death , and , well , i guess we were just a little too far apart . sonny said we were through , and i took him at his word . and when he changed his mind , well , uh , it was just a little too late . so tomorrow we start our divorce proceedings . kiki : i am so sorry for both of you . i know no matter how badly things ended , i know you both love each other . carly : that 's supposed to be enough , right ? i mean , is n't that what we say all the time -- `` love is enough `` ? but clearly sometimes it 's not . anyway , enough with all that . i 'm gon na take these menu cards for you , and if anything happens to them , i will brave the wrath of lucy . i promise . kiki : [ laughs ] thank you . um , oh , and , carly ? as far as the rings go , um , a very famous woman once said , `` i never hated a man enough to give him back his diamonds . `` carly : [ laughs ] thank you . i like that .

[ scene_break ] lulu : i know that it 's not my place to get in the middle , but dante mentioned that you were planning on keeping sonny 's business assets in the divorce ? carly : he signed them all over to me . lulu : yeah , he did when he thought he was going to prison to protect his family . you do n't really want to bleed sonny dry , do you ? carly : oh , come on , lulu ! sonny has more money than god offshore . i mean , in addition to his island , he is a partner in at least five different casinos , he has sugar plantations , a rum distillery , not to mention millions of dollars in mob money stashed away in the grand keys . lulu : all of that money is illegal . he ca n't bring it into the us . carly : you know who else ca n't come into the us ? jax . sonny got mad at jax and had him deported . right now it 's a lifetime ban , so if sonny has to spend a couple years out of the country while he launders money to buy some legitimate businesses , so be it , man . serves him right . lulu : it probably does . but forcing sonny out of the country ? that is scorched earth . i - it 's not good for anyone , especially not the supposed victor . carly : sonny is going to live in the lap of luxury , and you know what ? he gets to take avery with him . and that 's gon na break my heart because i love that little girl , and i 'm gon na miss her . but , you know , this is gon na force sonny to have to rethink his priorities . so if his kids have to fly down to visit him -- that 's what josslyn 's gon na have to do to visit her dad . lulu : i just do n't think that sonny is gon na see it that way , and once you go down this road , carly , you may never be able to come back from it . carly : yeah , well , i do n't really think that there 's much for sonny and me to come back to . lulu : i have to just grab something from the back room , okay ? carly : okay . lulu : and then i 'll walk you out . carly : [ sighs ] [ clattering in distance ] carly : hello ?

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ned : my mother named me edward after her father , my late grandfather , a man she greatly admired for good reason . i was very close to my grandparents growing up , and people would just naturally assume that my last name was quartermaine . and , of course , then , i 'd have to explain that it was n't . and i do n't really know why i kept my father 's last name for as long as i did , but i know now there 's no reason to keep doing so . i 'm a quartermaine . it 's how my mother raised me . it 's how i think of myself . it 's intrinsic to my identity . it 's who i am . and since michael , with all due respect , is a corinthos , and jason is a morgan , it falls to dillon and me to carry on the quartermaine name . and i am very proud to do so . so , this is a copy of the petition that i filed with the state of new york to legally change my name to edward lawrence [ laughs ] quartermaine -- assuming you approve . tracy : [ voice breaking ] with all my heart . ned : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] dante : but port charles is maxie 's home . nathan : correction -- port charles was maxie 's home , it 's like portland is the `` land of opportunity `` now , you know ? georgie is there . a potential career at a fashion magazine is there . realistically , port charles is not exactly a fashion hub . when maxie gets home , she 's gon na have to figure out the next chapter in her career . dante : well , she 's got you to help her with that -- her husband . as long as you 're here , that should be enough for her , right ?

[ sighs ] ... because on the one hand she is a horrible , icky woman who has no confidence in the traditions of our nurses ' ball . but on the other hand , she 's kind of talented . i mean , do not tell her i said this . i would never say this to her face , but she did , with that `` willkommen `` from `` cabaret , `` bring down the house . you know what i mean ? dante : yeah , no , it was n't that . lucy : she did . dante : uh , what 's up ? flight delayed or something ? nathan : yeah , something like that .

[ scene_break ] tracy : okay , now that you 're here , we can get started . lulu : uh , i did not realize -- i had a meeting scheduled . i 'm sorry . what am i late for ? dillon : brunch . olivia : a brunch - like gathering without any food . tracy : as i have explained , the sooner i make my announcement , the sooner we can eat . monica : okay , fine . make your announcement . tracy : okay , first , i want to give lulu a little context . my son ned has just announced that he is going to legally change his name to quartermaine . lulu : no more ashton ? ned : not a chance . tracy : it 's a long story . i will now attempt to set the record straight . dillon : good luck with that . tracy : in the late 1980s , my father faked his own death and went into hiding . in the course of his travels , he came upon this painting , and he purchased it . i think we can all agree it looks remarkably like me . it is a lost work by -- jacopo di cosimo . kiki : he was renaissance master in the mannerist school . tracy : thank you , kiki . my father was traveling under the alias j.l . holt . monica : [ clears throat ] excuse me . jimmy lee ? tracy : not the point . monica : well , i - i 'm really surprised to hear that name . i mean , you never told me that part . tracy : [ sighs ] edward , aka j.l . holt , left this painting at a monastery in turkey . a few months ago , the monks tried to sell at auction , but because they were n't the legal owners the auction fell through . in the meantime , this painting had spotted by my ex , ned 's father , larry ashton , who concocted an elaborate con to trick me into giving up the painting , which i would have done were it not for ned . [ scene_break ] lucy : maxie 's not coming back ? nathan : no , she was covering the associate editor 's maternity leave , but the woman is not coming back to work . the magazine offered to extend her contract until they can find a permanent replacement . dante : well , how long is that gon na take ? nathan : they do n't know . it does n't sound like she 's coming back to port charles any time soon . lucy : she 's not coming back any time soon ? how dare she ? that is so irresponsible . she promised me that this year she was gon na help me totally outdo the costumes , and ... oh -- which is secondary to the way you must be feeling . i 'm so sorry . dante : it 's no big deal . you 're gon na work it out , okay ? it 's just temporary . nathan : i do n't know , man . i mean , she was n't exactly calling to discuss her decision with me . she 'd already said yes without even talking to me . we 're supposed to be in this together , right ? [ sighs ] i -- [ sighs ] how can i blame her ? you know , she likes the work , and she gets to be near georgie . lucy : well , right . most mothers would jump at that chance . nathan : what if she 's -- if she decides to stay in portland for good ? dante : then , you 'll figure it out . people manage long - distance relationships all the time . lucy : yeah . yeah , kevin and i , we managed it while we were married . i mean , he was in seattle for months at a time .

[ scene_break ] laura : samira was working for larry ? dillon : do n't feel bad , laura . we all fell for it , even my mom . she was ready to give samira the painting even after the dna test proved that samira was not a quartermaine . monica : oh , dr. finn , about that dna test -- finn : hm ? tracy : monica ! monica : just let me finish . you made a judgment call . it was the right one . and on behalf of my entire family , thank you . finn : you 're welcome . monica : do n't do it again . finn : right . laura : tracy , uh , if i may ? tracy : by all means . laura : um , ned , first of all , thank you so much for figuring out that scam so your mother did n't have to give up her painting , but , tracy ... [ breathes deeply ] i want to compliment you for being willing to sacrifice something that meant so much to you to help another woman in need . tracy : you did n't think i had it in me . laura : actually , i did . i just thought it 's a matter of time before you figured that out . tracy : some of you do not know that laura was kind enough to come with me to turkey and help me claim the painting . she was with me when the abbot gave me the letter from my father . [ inhales deeply ] in it ... my f - father told me that he loved me . that may sound simple . but when it came to my father and me , it was anything but . that letter set me free .

[ scene_break ] casey : help me figure something out . if you had told someone about the rape , then eve never would have killed anybody , right ? maddie : right . casey : and if she had never offered to let you live with her and her rapist husband -- who she probably had a hint was seriously messed up -- then you never would have been raped , right ? maddie : casey -- casey : right ? maddie : right . casey : and if she had never met louis , or never been born , or your parents never met . maddie : you 're being illogical . casey : then tear holes in my logic . no , explain to me how it would n't have changed anything if eve were never born , but it would have changed everything if you had told someone about louis raping you ? maddie : i know what i feel does n't make sense , but i still feel it . casey : so we 'll figure it out . that 's what you 're good at . even when you 're all confused and hurt , you 're still the smartest girl i know . maddie : smartest girl or smartest person ? casey : she 's back . see , you 'll talk to a counselor or something . or read some books about recovering from stuff . maddie : and reading those books are going to make me feel better ? casey : you can read them to me . and that 'll make me feel better . because i 'll be with you . bottom line ? you 're going to get through this . and i can help . if you 'll let me .

[ sighs ] oh , chloe . this is n't right . as much as i love looking after holly ... you should be the one holding her . taking care of her . singing her to sleep . do you hear me , chloe ? you need to wake up . this baby needs her mother . yeah . chloe . shawn : i hate that i ca n't even hug my own mother . hope : yeah , i hate it , too . god , i miss you and your sister so much . how 's ciara doing ? shawn : she 's good . she 's busy , she 's studying for finals and she 's volunteering at the hospital , and ... mom , what is it ? what 're you -- what do you keep looking at , what 's wrong ? hope : wha -- oh , uh , nothing . no , it 's nothing , really , i just -- i , um ... i have a lot on my mind right now . shawn : no , no , no , no , i 'm not buying that . what 's wrong ? hope : the situation in here , it 's , um ... it 's gotten a little out of control . shawn : out of control how ? hope : one of my allies has been murdered . chille . steve : well , donovan , you always had a flare for the dramatic . rafe : all right , steve , hold on a sec -- it 's about hope ? what is it ? shane : well , it just might be that hope did n't kill anyone . rafe : what ? steve : that does n't make any sense . kayla : that 's not possible . shane : it 's stefano . seems like the old son of a bitch might still be alive . rafe : did you just say -- shane : stefano dimera might be alive . rafe : yeah . steve : is this some kind of sick joke , donovan ? shane : no joke . i 'm afraid i have it on the highest authority from the isa . several of our agents have picked up on chatter about stefano possibly being alive and seen in various cities around eastern europe . steve : might be , possibly . is the bastard alive , or is n't he ? shane : well , apparently , there 's talk on the street about a new player in town who 's making significant moves in the business sector . he 's been acquiring assets left and right , spending money like there 's no tomorrow . kayla : well , that certainly sounds like stefano . steve : that sounds like a lot of people . i need proof . rafe : yeah , that makes two of us . nicole : she is so beautiful , chloe , i wish ... i wish you could see her . i ca n't wait for you to see her . i knew when i first saw you , you had my heart . and now i ca n't get enough of you . it 's like my arms wo n't let me let go of you . and maybe it 's because i helped deliver you and was there for you when you took your first breath . [ chuckles ] but i can see you 're gon na have the prettiest smile . yes . and a dazzling personality . [ chuckles ] and your mama is so lucky . but you know what , she does n't know yet ... oh . if she could feel half of what i feel when i hold you ... i used to live for the day when i would a connection with my baby . the one you 're gon na have with your mama when she wakes up . and i believe that is gon na be very , very soon . do n't you worry , chloe . until you do , i 'll be here . i will look after your little girl as if she were my own . yes , i will . hi . [ chuckles ] hi . [ chuckles ] deimos : getting nicole to step away from that baby long enough for me to get a sample , now that 's the problem . but , of course , if we could just tell her why -- brady : if we tell nicole that the baby is hers , and it turns out not to be true -- deimos : i know , i know . she 'll be devastated . brady : deimos , you do n't know , i do know . i saw her through two miscarriages . i 'm not putting her through that hell again . deimos : and i say , the evidence is there , brady . i mean , just the fact that chloe would n't have asked her to name the baby if she did n't know in her heart that the baby belonged to nicole . brady : honestly ? honestly , that sounds like something chloe would do . she and nicole have always been strangely close . so until we can find a way to get that sample without nicole finding out why -- deimos : wait a minute . brady : what ? deimos : maybe we do n't need it . maybe there 's another way for us to prove that nicole is the mother . kids , are you ready to get this potty started ? your face , i do n't think this is going to be one of our three martini meetings . kate : i need to ask you something . andré : must be very important , it could n't wait until we made it home . kate : in going over the company books , i 've noticed some strange activity with our overseas accounts . andré : well , what exactly constitutes `` strange `` ? kate : missing money , andré . andré : what ? you think i had something to do with this ? kate : did you ? shawn : okay , so ... so what makes you think that you 're the reason that chille 's dead ? hope : because she had just told sheila and coco to back off me and annabelle . shawn : and you think they 're the ones that did it , right ? hope : i do n't think , i know , shawn . prison officials are conducting an investigation . shawn : you told them what you suspect , right ? hope : no , of course not . shawn : why ? why would n't you ? hope : because i do n't have solid proof . shawn : okay , hold on , so -- okay , coco . coco ... okay , coco 's husband is the one that went to prison after you arrested him , right ? hope : yeah , yeah , yeah . exactly . i think these women see me as a threat . shawn : so you think that killing chille was a power play . hope : absolutely . allying herself with me is what got her killed . shawn : no , no , no , no . no , do not go there , do not go there . we both know that she could 've said no to deimos . hope : but shawn , she did n't . she did n't say no and her death has started a war here . now it 's them against me . no , as long ... i tried so hard to make allies in this joint the entire time that i 've been here , but being a cop ... i do n't have nearly enough . shawn : okay , what about hattie ? hattie -- i mean , does she care -- she carries a lot of weight in here , does n't she ? hope : with her blueberry pancakes ? what -- no , i needed chille . shawn : okay , mom , listen , i 'm gon na go to the warden , i 'm gon na make sure that you are safe -- hope : no ! shawn ... do n't . no . roman : all right , what the hell is this about stefano ? marlena : no , he ca n't be alive . steve : according to shane , he might be . shane : my contacts are fairly certain a man they 've been tracking is stefano . marlena : hope confessed to killing him . in his own home -- i mean , she 's serving time in prison for that right now . rafe : she also confessed to burying stefano 's body in a building that was scheduled for demolition . the dna test on that body prove it was stefano . shane : i know , i know , it 's beyond the realm of reason , but let 's face it -- all of us in this room can attest to the fact that stefano dimera 's cheated death on several occasions over the last few decades . i would n't be here now if i did n't have substantial evidence he 's done it again . roman : how substantial ? shane : well , for starters , there 's a physical description , albeit vague . and the fact that this person of interest enjoys opera , chess , and has a penchant for strega . marlena : well , that was stefano 's favorite after dinner drink . kayla : but a lot of people like strega , chess , and opera . come on . steve : and a lot of people could fit stefano 's general physical description . shane : i know , i expected a certain level of skepticism , not only because this seems so improbable , but if , indeed , stefano dimera is still alive -- marlena : that 's a nightmare come true . shane : yeah . nevertheless ... that image was taken from surveillance video shot several days ago in prague . it 's grainy , i know , and the image is somewhat obscured , but you ca n't deny that there 's a resemblance to stefano dimera . marlena : well , it 's the back of a man sitting in a cafe . shane : yeah . but we 're pretty certain that that man is the phoenix , risen once again from the ashes . chloe : [ sobbing ] [ laughing ] nicole : oh , it 's okay . [ baby cries ] chloe : oh , my gosh . is she okay ? nicole : she is perfect . chloe : [ cries happily ] nicole : what is it , what 's wrong ? chloe : oh ... my head . i want ... nicole : what do you want ? what do you want ? chloe : my head . nicole : hey , what 's happening ? chloe , honey ? hey . brady : how 's she doing ? nicole : well , baby 's fine . no change with chloe . but if i know her , she 's fighting with everything she 's got to get back to her baby . brady : she 's lucky to have a friend like you . to be here for her and the baby . nicole : i 'm lucky she let me back in . brady : so the mending of the fences was successful ? nicole : not exactly . brady : not -- what do you mean ? nicole : well , i 'm ... chloe was on edge . but i reminded her how much our friendship meant to me . and then she started to open up . brady : did she open up long enough to tell you who the baby 's father is ? nicole : no , we -- we did n't get into that . i mean , she told me how things ended with phillip , and ... since we were sharing affairs of the heart , i wrongly assumed that she wanted to hear about deimos . brady : mm , it 's a hot topic still , huh ? nicole : she immediately got defensive . she started going on about what a bad guy deimos was after what he did to maggie and victor and how she hated him , and ... you know , everything that i 've already heard before . brady : i 'm sorry about that . nicole : she just does n't know him like i do . i think he is a good man and he has a lot of love in his heart . brady : look , despite deimos , did you and chloe make peace ? nicole : we just decided to agree to disagree where deimos was concerned , and then ... then her water broke . and after that , all that mattered was making sure she and the baby were okay . and with all that snow , there was no way we were making it to a hospital , and ... well , you know the rest . and you rescued us , and i still ca n't believe you braved the storm the way you did . brady : me , me ? are you kidding me ? you delivered a baby in a crappy motel all by yourself . i mean , look what you did . and here she is , i mean ... go look at her , she 's ... safe and sound and perfect . nicole : you 're right about her being perfect . her sweet little holly . you know , i hope ... chloe does n't mind that i named her holly . brady : no . she told you to name her , did n't she ? nicole : yeah , she did . she insisted . and when i asked her why it mattered so much , that 's when ... she was hit with that pain in her head . brady : that 's when she passed out , right ? nicole : yeah . you know , i thought about it after -- you know , maybe she asked me because , you know , i helped deliver the baby , and because we 've been ... because we 've been best friends for so long . [ cries ] and there 's nothing that your mommy and i would n't do for each other . brady : all right . nicole : [ cries ] andré : you know , kate , i 'm really offended that you think i would stoop so low that i would steal from my own family . kate : we both know you 're not above playing dirty if you think the circumstances call for it . and andré , you already broke your promise to chad not to keep secrets . andré : well , i told you it was because it was n't ready . i wanted to present it to him fully formed . speaking of which , what about your sources in china ? have they been able to track down the microchip ? kate : not yet , but do n't change the subject . andré : without those microchips , the location manager is not gon na be fully operational , which means we wo n't be able to make any money from it , and right now , the company needs as much money as it can get . kate : oh , certainly , we do . especially with those missing funds . andré : it was n't me . kate : you 've told a lot of lies . makes me wonder what other secrets you 're keeping from chad and me . roman : well , all i see in this picture is somebody who resembles stefano . steve : mm , the way he 's sitting , maybe . kayla : coloring -- his hair , his build ... marlena : just wish it were n't so grainy . rafe : shane , come on , really , in no way does this picture convince me that stefano 's alive . roman : i agree . a few physical similarities , a love for `` la traviata `` ... you know , that does n't prove the guy in the picture is stefano dimera . shane : i agree , but come on . if there 's even the slightest possibility that that is stefano , and that he 's still alive , surely that 's worth investigating . marlena : in fact , you know , the way stefano dies and comes back to life over and over ... i think shane has a point . rafe : except for none of the other times did stefano have stage four colon cancer . steve : meaning , even if he survived hope 's shooting ... marlena : mm . cancer 's so advanced , it certainly would 've killed him by now . kayla : yeah , but it could 've been part of his elaborate plan , you know , that he would -- he would get treatment and then he would be cured . roman : now that sounds more like stefano . marlena : you think he might be in remission and making his next plan ? steve : we all know what this means , right ? if stefano really is alive -- rafe : then hope did n't commit murder . hope : no . i ca n't risk you going to the warden or the guards -- i 'll look weak . lose respect from the other prisoners . shawn : mom , a woman was murdered . who cares how you look ? i do n't want you to be the next one , all right ? hope : i 'm sorry , i -- shh ! i should n't have said anything . i 'm sorry . shawn : mom , i can not just sit back and do nothing . hope : that 's exactly what you 're gon na have to do . shawn : no , you ca n't handle all this on your own . hope : shawn , stop . just listen to me , okay , i need to get allies , and i need to do it quickly before someone else dies . nicole : i know i can say this to you , because ... you know me and you 've been such a good friend . holding that baby reminded me of the first time i held sydney . looking at that little girl in my arms ... i felt exactly the same way . even though neither one of them were mine . brady : no one i know deserves to be a mother more than you . nicole : came close a few times . but between the miscarriages and the false pregnancies , i ... was n't meant to be , i guess . i remember feeling like the whole world was conspiring against me . and every time there was a glimmer of hope , it was ripped away from me . brady : i 'm sorry . nicole : it 's okay , i ... i got through it . and even though it was so hard to lose those precious babies , i am so grateful that i got to carry them . even though it was a short time ... they were mine . and even today , they 're still in my heart . brady , i 've ... i 've accepted that i ca n't have a child of my own , that it 's not in the cards , which is why i 'm so surprised that this one 's getting to me . you know , maybe ... maybe it is because i helped deliver her . even because i got to name her . i do n't know , i think there 's something else , like there 's this invisible pull that 's making me love her more and more every minute . i 'll tell you one thing . when chloe wakes up and can take care of holly on her own , i 'm gon na have a really hard time letting her go . brady : maybe you do n't have to . rafe : how 's your mother doing ? shawn : well , she 'd be a lot better is she were out of that place . rafe : well , i 'm working on it . in fact , that 's why i called . do you think you can meet me at the station in , say , ten minutes ? shawn : yeah , sure . why , what 's up ? rafe : i have a few questions about your part in the investigation of stefano 's death . shawn : yeah , yeah , i 'm on my way . rafe : okay , shawn 's gon na meet me at the station . steve : kayla and i want to be there when you tell him . kayla : oh , absolutely . marlena : i 've got some questions i want to ask , myself . roman : all right , the three of you go with rafe . shane and i will check with the isa and see if they 've had any more stefano sightings . rafe : shane . thank you . thank you for , uh , bringing this to our attention . shane : yeah , well , for hope 's sake , let 's just hope it 's true . rafe : yeah . [ banging ] sheila : hey , princess is a little jumpy . guess you 're still shaken up what happened to your little bestie , chille , huh ? such a tragedy . mm . goes to show , you never know what day will be your last . hope : i know you and coco killed her . sheila : you do n't know squat . hope : let me tell you what i know . i know you 're not gon na get away with it . sheila : oh , i 'm scared . say what ? but by the way , now that chille is gone , spot for a top dog is up for grabs in here . and if you 're smart , you 'll bow out gracefully . hope : not a chance . sheila : what 's your problem , princess ? you do n't even like playing queen bee . i can tell . hope : someone 's got to protect the other women . sheila : [ laughs ] even without the badge , you 're still in here trying to `` catch `` the bad guys . but you know what ? continue playing `` protect and serve . `` whatever . but remember : you been warned . nicole : what do you mean i might not have to give up holly ? and please do n't say it 's because you think chloe wo n't wake up out of her coma , okay ? she -- she will and she has to . brady : she will -- it 's not that , it 's not that . it 's just that ... this baby -- [ door opens ] deimos : hey . nicole : hi . deimos : am i interrupting ? brady : no , no , not at all . deimos : how 're you doing ? nicole : well , i 'd be better if chloe was awake . deimos : yeah , well , there 's no way for us to know when that 's gon na happen , so , you know , maybe you can take a break ? you know , why do n't you come walk with me , we 'll get some fresh air . nicole : no , i 'm fine here . deimos : well , i 'm sure brady would n't mind watching over chloe and the baby while you 're gone . brady : no , no , no , it 's not a problem . nicole : i do n't need a break . i 'm not leaving . maybe you should . deimos : i 'm sor -- excuse me ? nicole : deimos , i 'm sorry . it 's just , i ... i do n't mean to be rude , it 's just , i do n't think chloe would appreciate you being in the room with her and the baby . deimos : you know what , you 're right . i 'll go . nicole : really ? that 's it , no argument ? deimos : i want chloe to wake up just as much as you do . and if my being here prevents that ... nicole : thank you . deimos : can i at least get you something to eat ? nicole : no , i 'm not hungry . deimos : really ? brady , you want to grab a quick bite ? brady : why not ? nicole : brady , wait . before deimos got here , you were gon na say something about the baby . brady : yeah , um ... what i meant was , we do n't know how long chloe 's recovery is gon na take , so you might end up having to spend a lot more time with holly then you originally thought . nicole : i mean , i -- i would n't mind . but i do pray that chloe will wake up from her coma soon . any extra time with holly ... that 's something i 'll never get tired of . the baby 's still okay , is n't she ? brady : the baby , uh , did n't make it . i 'm sorry . nicole : [ cries ] brady : it 's okay . nicole : no ! [ cries ] brady : did you get it ? you get a sample of the baby 's blood from the lab ? deimos : no , no , the place was locked up for the night . brady : damn it . deimos : you know , honestly , if we got in , we would n't know where to look . brady : well then , i guess we 're back to getting the sample directly from the baby . deimos : back to the same problem with nicole not wanting to tear herself away . so looks like we 're gon na have to come up with a reason she ca n't ignore . andré : i swear on my father 's name , whatever was stolen from the dimera coffer ... were not confiscated by me . kate : i really want to believe that . andré : when you told chad to give me another chance , because i 'd seen the error in my ways , i thought that you believed that , as well . kate : i did . i still do . i do n't think you are the heartless soldier just out to do bidding for stefano . i genuinely -- i believe that you care . i believe you have real feelings . andré : now , let 's not get carried away . kate : but however , in trying to be a better man , i do n't think you 're immune to a desperate act . andré : why would i steal from a company that i 'm trying to shore back up ? kate : if not you , who ? andré : well , the thief that stole the microchips . speaking of which , uncovering their identity is imperative right now . kate : i never thought of that . andré : no , no , of course you would n't . it was so easy to blame poor , misunderstood andré . kate : [ sighs ] it is . gon na call my contacts in china , let them know about this development . andré : i would hope so . kate : but if i find out that you had anything to do with those missing funds -- andré : i did not do it . annabelle : did you get evidence that proves sheila and coco killed chille ? hope : no , but even if i did , using it would be seen as a declaration of war and that 's the last thing we need right now . annabelle : you really think that they 're after you ? because i could n't take it if something happened to you . hope : nothing 's gon na happen to me . not if i can help it . can i count on your loyalty ? annabelle : tell me whatever you want me to do . hope : this is a list of potential inmates we might be able to recruit to our side . this outlines their schedules , okay ? some of them are in the gym right now . annabelle : i 'll go see if they 'll stop lifting long enough to listen . hope : all right . take that one and i 'm gon na take this one to hattie , who 's in the kitchen . let 's go . i just want you to know , we can do this . okay ? as long as we stand together , they do n't stand a chance . annabelle : okay . shawn : no , no , no , no . there 's no way this is even possible . marlena : that 's what we all thought . steve : shane 's isa contacts are almost positive the person they saw in prague is stefano . shawn : look , it ca n't be him . i was the one who did the initial identification on the body . rafe : yeah , well , that body was in pretty bad shape . kayla : and his face was n't really recognizable , either , right ? shawn : yeah , because it was buried under a bunch of rubble after a massive explosion . but the dna -- the dna was undeniable . steve : wait a minute . did you keep that sample with you at all times ? shawn : yeah , of course i did . [ grunts ] look , i gave it to the lab guys to test . then they sent me a letter saying that it was , indeed , stefano , and then i went to rafe and i told him that we had a positive match . kayla : so somebody could 've tampered with the samples . steve : or doctor the report . marlena : to make it look like it was stefano when actually it was n't him buried under the rubble . deimos : hey . nicole : hi . ugh , i hate that she 's only getting formula . brady : lots of babies do fine on it . here 's your job -- you need to eat some take - out . nicole : i 'll save it for later . deimos : oh , um , you know , nicole , i ran into a nurse in the hall , and she said that she needed to get some information on chloe , on her medical history . obviously , i do n't have a clue , so i told her that you would be out soon and fill her in . nicole : brady , you were married to chloe once , why do n't you tell the nurses what they need to know . brady : [ sighs ] i was married to her a while ago , nicole , i mean , i can barely remember what i had for breakfast last week . you know me . deimos : well , um , she made it sound like it was really urgent . she said that it could help the doctors figure out how to bring chloe out of the coma . nicole : fine . okay , baby . brady , will you watch her , please ? brady : i wo n't leave her side . nicole : okay . and you , behave yourself , please -- if chloe wakes up , you -- deimos : i 'll be gone . i promise . all right ? come here . let 's do it . shawn : so i just got off the phone with mccabe in forensics , he said that i could go down there , i can dig through the archives , but i got to keep it on the dl , because i 'm no longer on the force . rafe : well , mccabe 's a good guy , he 's gon na get you what you need . all right , listen , everyone , we 're all in agreement we 're gon na keep this from hope , at least for now . marlena : i think that 's best . kayla : yeah , we do n't want to get her hopes up . shawn : yeah , she already has enough to worry about while she 's in that house of horror . rafe : what 're you talking about , what happened ? shawn : my mom 's biggest ally -- she was just murdered . kayla : oh , my god . rafe : not hattie . shawn : no , her name was chille . marlena : we 've got to get her out of there . steve : if we can prove stefano is really alive , courts will have to release her . rafe : you need proof ? i know where to get it . brady : nicole could be back any second . just swab her mouth -- deimos : all right , i 'm -- her face is turned away , i 'm trying to get a good angle . nancy : chloe ! brady : nancy . nancy : brady -- what is he doing here ?

deimos : that was the lab . once i get them the sample of the baby 's dna , they can have the results within 24 hours . ca n't wait to see the look on nicole 's face when she comes to realize that the baby she thought was chloe 's all this time -- brady : [ mumbles ] number one , keep your voice down . i do n't want nicole overhearing something that may not be true . you understand me ? deimos : i know it 's true , all right ? as far as i 'm concerned , the dna test is a technicality . brady : all right . where 's the baby now ? brady : she 's in with chloe and nicole . brady : you know nicole has n't left either of their sights for more than five minutes since we got here . deimos : yeah , that 's probably because nicole , on an unconscious level , knows that holly is hers . brady : do n't -- do n't read too much into that kind of devotion , okay ? because knowing nicole , she 's probably making up for the fact that chloe ca n't be there . deimos : why are you still fighting this ? we already know that chloe got impregnated again with nicole and daniel 's embryo . hell , she even asked her to name the baby , what more do you want ? brady : know what i want , deimos , i want proof . you know , the irrefutable kind in the form of a test that says nicole is that baby 's mother . at least a confirmation from chloe , for god 's sake . deimos : well , i 'm not about to sit around and wait for her to come out of that coma . i mean , heaven knows how long that 's gon na take . brady : then let 's -- let 's get the sample and do the dna test . deimos : yeah , easier said than done . nicole wo n't tear herself away from that baby . nicole : good , huh ? yeah . [ sighs ] oh , chloe . this is n't right . as much as i love looking after holly ... you should be the one holding her . taking care of her . singing her to sleep . do you hear me , chloe ? you need to wake up . this baby needs her mother . yeah . chloe . shawn : i hate that i ca n't even hug my own mother . hope : yeah , i hate it , too . god , i miss you and your sister so much . how 's ciara doing ? shawn : she 's good . she 's busy , she 's studying for finals and she 's volunteering at the hospital , and ... mom , what is it ? what 're you -- what do you keep looking at , what 's wrong ? hope : wha -- oh , uh , nothing . no , it 's nothing , really , i just -- i , um ... i have a lot on my mind right now . shawn : no , no , no , no , i 'm not buying that . what 's wrong ? hope : the situation in here , it 's , um ... it 's gotten a little out of control . shawn : out of control how ? hope : one of my allies has been murdered . chille . steve : well , donovan , you always had a flare for the dramatic . rafe : all right , steve , hold on a sec -- it 's about hope ? what is it ? shane : well , it just might be that hope did n't kill anyone . rafe : what ? steve : that does n't make any sense . kayla : that 's not possible . shane : it 's stefano . seems like the old son of a bitch might still be alive . rafe : did you just say -- shane : stefano dimera might be alive . rafe : yeah . steve : is this some kind of sick joke , donovan ? shane : no joke . i 'm afraid i have it on the highest authority from the isa . several of our agents have picked up on chatter about stefano possibly being alive and seen in various cities around eastern europe . steve : might be , possibly . is the bastard alive , or is n't he ? shane : well , apparently , there 's talk on the street about a new player in town who 's making significant moves in the business sector . he 's been acquiring assets left and right , spending money like there 's no tomorrow . kayla : well , that certainly sounds like stefano . steve : that sounds like a lot of people . i need proof . rafe : yeah , that makes two of us . nicole : she is so beautiful , chloe , i wish ... i wish you could see her . i ca n't wait for you to see her . i knew when i first saw you , you had my heart . and now i ca n't get enough of you . it 's like my arms wo n't let me let go of you . and maybe it 's because i helped deliver you and was there for you when you took your first breath . [ chuckles ] but i can see you 're gon na have the prettiest smile . yes . and a dazzling personality . [ chuckles ] and your mama is so lucky . but you know what , she does n't know yet ... oh . if she could feel half of what i feel when i hold you ... i used to live for the day when i would a connection with my baby . the one you 're gon na have with your mama when she wakes up . and i believe that is gon na be very , very soon . do n't you worry , chloe . until you do , i 'll be here . i will look after your little girl as if she were my own . yes , i will . hi . [ chuckles ] hi . [ chuckles ] deimos : getting nicole to step away from that baby long enough for me to get a sample , now that 's the problem . but , of course , if we could just tell her why -- brady : if we tell nicole that the baby is hers , and it turns out not to be true -- deimos : i know , i know . she 'll be devastated . brady : deimos , you do n't know , i do know . i saw her through two miscarriages . i 'm not putting her through that hell again . deimos : and i say , the evidence is there , brady . i mean , just the fact that chloe would n't have asked her to name the baby if she did n't know in her heart that the baby belonged to nicole . brady : honestly ? honestly , that sounds like something chloe would do . she and nicole have always been strangely close . so until we can find a way to get that sample without nicole finding out why -- deimos : wait a minute . brady : what ? deimos : maybe we do n't need it . maybe there 's another way for us to prove that nicole is the mother . kids , are you ready to get this potty started ? your face , i do n't think this is going to be one of our three martini meetings . kate : i need to ask you something . andré : must be very important , it could n't wait until we made it home . kate : in going over the company books , i 've noticed some strange activity with our overseas accounts . andré : well , what exactly constitutes `` strange `` ? kate : missing money , andré . andré : what ? you think i had something to do with this ? kate : did you ? shawn : okay , so ... so what makes you think that you 're the reason that chille 's dead ? hope : because she had just told sheila and coco to back off me and annabelle . shawn : and you think they 're the ones that did it , right ? hope : i do n't think , i know , shawn . prison officials are conducting an investigation . shawn : you told them what you suspect , right ? hope : no , of course not . shawn : why ? why would n't you ? hope : because i do n't have solid proof . shawn : okay , hold on , so -- okay , coco . coco ... okay , coco 's husband is the one that went to prison after you arrested him , right ? hope : yeah , yeah , yeah . exactly . i think these women see me as a threat . shawn : so you think that killing chille was a power play . hope : absolutely . allying herself with me is what got her killed . shawn : no , no , no , no . no , do not go there , do not go there . we both know that she could 've said no to deimos . hope : but shawn , she did n't . she did n't say no and her death has started a war here . now it 's them against me . no , as long ... i tried so hard to make allies in this joint the entire time that i 've been here , but being a cop ... i do n't have nearly enough . shawn : okay , what about hattie ? hattie -- i mean , does she care -- she carries a lot of weight in here , does n't she ? hope : with her blueberry pancakes ? what -- no , i needed chille . shawn : okay , mom , listen , i 'm gon na go to the warden , i 'm gon na make sure that you are safe -- hope : no ! shawn ... do n't . no . roman : all right , what the hell is this about stefano ? marlena : no , he ca n't be alive . steve : according to shane , he might be . shane : my contacts are fairly certain a man they 've been tracking is stefano . marlena : hope confessed to killing him . in his own home -- i mean , she 's serving time in prison for that right now . rafe : she also confessed to burying stefano 's body in a building that was scheduled for demolition . the dna test on that body prove it was stefano . shane : i know , i know , it 's beyond the realm of reason , but let 's face it -- all of us in this room can attest to the fact that stefano dimera 's cheated death on several occasions over the last few decades . i would n't be here now if i did n't have substantial evidence he 's done it again . roman : how substantial ? shane : well , for starters , there 's a physical description , albeit vague . and the fact that this person of interest enjoys opera , chess , and has a penchant for strega . marlena : well , that was stefano 's favorite after dinner drink . kayla : but a lot of people like strega , chess , and opera . come on . steve : and a lot of people could fit stefano 's general physical description . shane : i know , i expected a certain level of skepticism , not only because this seems so improbable , but if , indeed , stefano dimera is still alive -- marlena : that 's a nightmare come true . shane : yeah . nevertheless ... that image was taken from surveillance video shot several days ago in prague . it 's grainy , i know , and the image is somewhat obscured , but you ca n't deny that there 's a resemblance to stefano dimera . marlena : well , it 's the back of a man sitting in a cafe . shane : yeah . but we 're pretty certain that that man is the phoenix , risen once again from the ashes . chloe : [ sobbing ] [ laughing ] nicole : oh , it 's okay . [ baby cries ] chloe : oh , my gosh . is she okay ? nicole : she is perfect . chloe : [ cries happily ] nicole : what is it , what 's wrong ? chloe : oh ... my head . i want ... nicole : what do you want ? what do you want ? chloe : my head . nicole : hey , what 's happening ? chloe , honey ? hey . brady : how 's she doing ? nicole : well , baby 's fine . no change with chloe . but if i know her , she 's fighting with everything she 's got to get back to her baby . brady : she 's lucky to have a friend like you . to be here for her and the baby . nicole : i 'm lucky she let me back in . brady : so the mending of the fences was successful ? nicole : not exactly . brady : not -- what do you mean ? nicole : well , i 'm ... chloe was on edge . but i reminded her how much our friendship meant to me . and then she started to open up . brady : did she open up long enough to tell you who the baby 's father is ? nicole : no , we -- we did n't get into that . i mean , she told me how things ended with phillip , and ... since we were sharing affairs of the heart , i wrongly assumed that she wanted to hear about deimos . brady : mm , it 's a hot topic still , huh ? nicole : she immediately got defensive . she started going on about what a bad guy deimos was after what he did to maggie and victor and how she hated him , and ... you know , everything that i 've already heard before . brady : i 'm sorry about that . nicole : she just does n't know him like i do . i think he is a good man and he has a lot of love in his heart . brady : look , despite deimos , did you and chloe make peace ? nicole : we just decided to agree to disagree where deimos was concerned , and then ... then her water broke . and after that , all that mattered was making sure she and the baby were okay . and with all that snow , there was no way we were making it to a hospital , and ... well , you know the rest . and you rescued us , and i still ca n't believe you braved the storm the way you did . brady : me , me ? are you kidding me ? you delivered a baby in a crappy motel all by yourself . i mean , look what you did . and here she is , i mean ... go look at her , she 's ... safe and sound and perfect . nicole : you 're right about her being perfect . her sweet little holly . you know , i hope ... chloe does n't mind that i named her holly . brady : no . she told you to name her , did n't she ? nicole : yeah , she did . she insisted . and when i asked her why it mattered so much , that 's when ... she was hit with that pain in her head . brady : that 's when she passed out , right ? nicole : yeah . you know , i thought about it after -- you know , maybe she asked me because , you know , i helped deliver the baby , and because we 've been ... because we 've been best friends for so long . [ cries ] and there 's nothing that your mommy and i would n't do for each other . brady : all right . nicole : [ cries ] andré : you know , kate , i 'm really offended that you think i would stoop so low that i would steal from my own family . kate : we both know you 're not above playing dirty if you think the circumstances call for it . and andré , you already broke your promise to chad not to keep secrets . andré : well , i told you it was because it was n't ready . i wanted to present it to him fully formed . speaking of which , what about your sources in china ? have they been able to track down the microchip ? kate : not yet , but do n't change the subject . andré : without those microchips , the location manager is not gon na be fully operational , which means we wo n't be able to make any money from it , and right now , the company needs as much money as it can get . kate : oh , certainly , we do . especially with those missing funds . andré : it was n't me . kate : you 've told a lot of lies . makes me wonder what other secrets you 're keeping from chad and me . roman : well , all i see in this picture is somebody who resembles stefano . steve : mm , the way he 's sitting , maybe . kayla : coloring -- his hair , his build ... marlena : just wish it were n't so grainy . rafe : shane , come on , really , in no way does this picture convince me that stefano 's alive . roman : i agree . a few physical similarities , a love for `` la traviata `` ... you know , that does n't prove the guy in the picture is stefano dimera . shane : i agree , but come on . if there 's even the slightest possibility that that is stefano , and that he 's still alive , surely that 's worth investigating . marlena : in fact , you know , the way stefano dies and comes back to life over and over ... i think shane has a point . rafe : except for none of the other times did stefano have stage four colon cancer . steve : meaning , even if he survived hope 's shooting ... marlena : mm . cancer 's so advanced , it certainly would 've killed him by now . kayla : yeah , but it could 've been part of his elaborate plan , you know , that he would -- he would get treatment and then he would be cured . roman : now that sounds more like stefano . marlena : you think he might be in remission and making his next plan ? steve : we all know what this means , right ? if stefano really is alive -- rafe : then hope did n't commit murder . hope : no . i ca n't risk you going to the warden or the guards -- i 'll look weak . lose respect from the other prisoners . shawn : mom , a woman was murdered . who cares how you look ? i do n't want you to be the next one , all right ? hope : i 'm sorry , i -- shh ! i should n't have said anything . i 'm sorry . shawn : mom , i can not just sit back and do nothing . hope : that 's exactly what you 're gon na have to do . shawn : no , you ca n't handle all this on your own . hope : shawn , stop . just listen to me , okay , i need to get allies , and i need to do it quickly before someone else dies . nicole : i know i can say this to you , because ... you know me and you 've been such a good friend . holding that baby reminded me of the first time i held sydney . looking at that little girl in my arms ... i felt exactly the same way . even though neither one of them were mine . brady : no one i know deserves to be a mother more than you . nicole : came close a few times . but between the miscarriages and the false pregnancies , i ... was n't meant to be , i guess . i remember feeling like the whole world was conspiring against me . and every time there was a glimmer of hope , it was ripped away from me . brady : i 'm sorry . nicole : it 's okay , i ... i got through it . and even though it was so hard to lose those precious babies , i am so grateful that i got to carry them . even though it was a short time ... they were mine . and even today , they 're still in my heart . brady , i 've ... i 've accepted that i ca n't have a child of my own , that it 's not in the cards , which is why i 'm so surprised that this one 's getting to me . you know , maybe ... maybe it is because i helped deliver her . even because i got to name her . i do n't know , i think there 's something else , like there 's this invisible pull that 's making me love her more and more every minute . i 'll tell you one thing . when chloe wakes up and can take care of holly on her own , i 'm gon na have a really hard time letting her go . brady : maybe you do n't have to . rafe : how 's your mother doing ? shawn : well , she 'd be a lot better is she were out of that place . rafe : well , i 'm working on it . in fact , that 's why i called . do you think you can meet me at the station in , say , ten minutes ? shawn : yeah , sure . why , what 's up ? rafe : i have a few questions about your part in the investigation of stefano 's death . shawn : yeah , yeah , i 'm on my way . rafe : okay , shawn 's gon na meet me at the station . steve : kayla and i want to be there when you tell him . kayla : oh , absolutely . marlena : i 've got some questions i want to ask , myself . roman : all right , the three of you go with rafe . shane and i will check with the isa and see if they 've had any more stefano sightings . rafe : shane . thank you . thank you for , uh , bringing this to our attention . shane : yeah , well , for hope 's sake , let 's just hope it 's true . rafe : yeah . [ banging ] sheila : hey , princess is a little jumpy . guess you 're still shaken up what happened to your little bestie , chille , huh ? such a tragedy . mm . goes to show , you never know what day will be your last . hope : i know you and coco killed her . sheila : you do n't know squat . hope : let me tell you what i know . i know you 're not gon na get away with it . sheila : oh , i 'm scared . say what ? but by the way , now that chille is gone , spot for a top dog is up for grabs in here . and if you 're smart , you 'll bow out gracefully . hope : not a chance . sheila : what 's your problem , princess ? you do n't even like playing queen bee . i can tell . hope : someone 's got to protect the other women . sheila : [ laughs ] even without the badge , you 're still in here trying to `` catch `` the bad guys . but you know what ? continue playing `` protect and serve . `` whatever . but remember : you been warned . nicole : what do you mean i might not have to give up holly ? and please do n't say it 's because you think chloe wo n't wake up out of her coma , okay ? she -- she will and she has to . brady : she will -- it 's not that , it 's not that . it 's just that ... this baby -- [ door opens ] deimos : hey . nicole : hi . deimos : am i interrupting ? brady : no , no , not at all . deimos : how 're you doing ? nicole : well , i 'd be better if chloe was awake . deimos : yeah , well , there 's no way for us to know when that 's gon na happen , so , you know , maybe you can take a break ? you know , why do n't you come walk with me , we 'll get some fresh air . nicole : no , i 'm fine here . deimos : well , i 'm sure brady would n't mind watching over chloe and the baby while you 're gone . brady : no , no , no , it 's not a problem . nicole : i do n't need a break . i 'm not leaving . maybe you should . deimos : i 'm sor -- excuse me ? nicole : deimos , i 'm sorry . it 's just , i ... i do n't mean to be rude , it 's just , i do n't think chloe would appreciate you being in the room with her and the baby . deimos : you know what , you 're right . i 'll go . nicole : really ? that 's it , no argument ? deimos : i want chloe to wake up just as much as you do . and if my being here prevents that ... nicole : thank you . deimos : can i at least get you something to eat ? nicole : no , i 'm not hungry . deimos : really ? brady , you want to grab a quick bite ? brady : why not ? nicole : brady , wait . before deimos got here , you were gon na say something about the baby . brady : yeah , um ... what i meant was , we do n't know how long chloe 's recovery is gon na take , so you might end up having to spend a lot more time with holly then you originally thought . nicole : i mean , i -- i would n't mind . but i do pray that chloe will wake up from her coma soon . any extra time with holly ... that 's something i 'll never get tired of . the baby 's still okay , is n't she ? brady : the baby , uh , did n't make it . i 'm sorry . nicole : [ cries ] brady : it 's okay . nicole : no ! [ cries ] brady : did you get it ? you get a sample of the baby 's blood from the lab ? deimos : no , no , the place was locked up for the night . brady : damn it . deimos : you know , honestly , if we got in , we would n't know where to look . brady : well then , i guess we 're back to getting the sample directly from the baby . deimos : back to the same problem with nicole not wanting to tear herself away . so looks like we 're gon na have to come up with a reason she ca n't ignore . andré : i swear on my father 's name , whatever was stolen from the dimera coffer ... were not confiscated by me . kate : i really want to believe that . andré : when you told chad to give me another chance , because i 'd seen the error in my ways , i thought that you believed that , as well . kate : i did . i still do . i do n't think you are the heartless soldier just out to do bidding for stefano . i genuinely -- i believe that you care . i believe you have real feelings . andré : now , let 's not get carried away . kate : but however , in trying to be a better man , i do n't think you 're immune to a desperate act . andré : why would i steal from a company that i 'm trying to shore back up ? kate : if not you , who ? andré : well , the thief that stole the microchips . speaking of which , uncovering their identity is imperative right now . kate : i never thought of that . andré : no , no , of course you would n't . it was so easy to blame poor , misunderstood andré . kate : [ sighs ] it is . gon na call my contacts in china , let them know about this development . andré : i would hope so . kate : but if i find out that you had anything to do with those missing funds -- andré : i did not do it . annabelle : did you get evidence that proves sheila and coco killed chille ? hope : no , but even if i did , using it would be seen as a declaration of war and that 's the last thing we need right now . annabelle : you really think that they 're after you ? because i could n't take it if something happened to you . hope : nothing 's gon na happen to me . not if i can help it . can i count on your loyalty ? annabelle : tell me whatever you want me to do . hope : this is a list of potential inmates we might be able to recruit to our side . this outlines their schedules , okay ? some of them are in the gym right now . annabelle : i 'll go see if they 'll stop lifting long enough to listen . hope : all right . take that one and i 'm gon na take this one to hattie , who 's in the kitchen . let 's go . i just want you to know , we can do this . okay ? as long as we stand together , they do n't stand a chance . annabelle : okay . shawn : no , no , no , no . there 's no way this is even possible . marlena : that 's what we all thought . steve : shane 's isa contacts are almost positive the person they saw in prague is stefano . shawn : look , it ca n't be him . i was the one who did the initial identification on the body . rafe : yeah , well , that body was in pretty bad shape . kayla : and his face was n't really recognizable , either , right ? shawn : yeah , because it was buried under a bunch of rubble after a massive explosion . but the dna -- the dna was undeniable . steve : wait a minute . did you keep that sample with you at all times ? shawn : yeah , of course i did . [ grunts ] look , i gave it to the lab guys to test . then they sent me a letter saying that it was , indeed , stefano , and then i went to rafe and i told him that we had a positive match . kayla : so somebody could 've tampered with the samples . steve : or doctor the report . marlena : to make it look like it was stefano when actually it was n't him buried under the rubble . deimos : hey . nicole : hi . ugh , i hate that she 's only getting formula . brady : lots of babies do fine on it . here 's your job -- you need to eat some take - out . nicole : i 'll save it for later . deimos : oh , um , you know , nicole , i ran into a nurse in the hall , and she said that she needed to get some information on chloe , on her medical history . obviously , i do n't have a clue , so i told her that you would be out soon and fill her in . nicole : brady , you were married to chloe once , why do n't you tell the nurses what they need to know . brady : [ sighs ] i was married to her a while ago , nicole , i mean , i can barely remember what i had for breakfast last week . you know me . deimos : well , um , she made it sound like it was really urgent . she said that it could help the doctors figure out how to bring chloe out of the coma . nicole : fine . okay , baby . brady , will you watch her , please ? brady : i wo n't leave her side . nicole : okay . and you , behave yourself , please -- if chloe wakes up , you -- deimos : i 'll be gone . i promise . all right ? come here . let 's do it . shawn : so i just got off the phone with mccabe in forensics , he said that i could go down there , i can dig through the archives , but i got to keep it on the dl , because i 'm no longer on the force . rafe : well , mccabe 's a good guy , he 's gon na get you what you need . all right , listen , everyone , we 're all in agreement we 're gon na keep this from hope , at least for now . marlena : i think that 's best . kayla : yeah , we do n't want to get her hopes up . shawn : yeah , she already has enough to worry about while she 's in that house of horror . rafe : what 're you talking about , what happened ? shawn : my mom 's biggest ally -- she was just murdered . kayla : oh , my god . rafe : not hattie . shawn : no , her name was chille . marlena : we 've got to get her out of there . steve : if we can prove stefano is really alive , courts will have to release her . rafe : you need proof ? i know where to get it . brady : nicole could be back any second . just swab her mouth -- deimos : all right , i 'm -- her face is turned away , i 'm trying to get a good angle . nancy : chloe ! brady : nancy . nancy : brady -- what is he doing here ? deimos : nice to see you again , nancy . nancy : i wish i could say the same . brady : i 'm glad you 're here for chloe . nancy : i 'm not just here for chloe , i 'm ... i 'm here to take custody of her baby . hope : hey . i just found hattie in the kitchen , she helped me recruit some more women . yeah , okay , so let 's , um ... what 's that ? annabelle : what is it ? what 's wrong ? hope : death card . annabelle : they 're sending you another message . they 're going to kill you ! hope : no , no . no one 's gon na kill me . kayla : i thought stefano was gone for good . thank you . steve : so did i , baby . but if him being alive will set hope free , i 'll be the first to welcome him back . marlena : well , i just spoke with john in louisiana . steve : how 's he holding up ? marlena : well , you know , although he did n't know his mother well , she betrayed him , he still -- he 's still very upset by it . steve : what 'd he say about stefano ? marlena : oh , i think he was in shock at first . i 'm not even sure i can believe it , myself . kayla : i know what you mean . just the thought of that monster being alive and setting hope up ... steve : he 'll get his . i 'll make damn sure of that . andré : what 's going on ?

i want my mommy . ethan : hey , buddy , your mommy 's not here , but , hey , you know that i 'm going to take care of you , right ? ok , well , here 's what i want you to do . i want you to awaw a really , really nice picture , ok ? something really special while i talk to gwen some more , ok ? all right . that 's a good guy . look , i know that you blame theresa for sarah 's death , but do punish this little guy by keeping him away from his mother just because you 're angry at theresa . gwen : i just ca n't believe you 're taking her side again . ethan : i am not taking her side . i 'm taking little ethan 's side . he 's an innocent in all of this . and i do n't want to see him suffer by being away from his mother . gwen : ethan , you promised me on sarah 's coffin that theresa was out of your life for good , but is she ? ethan : yes , i swear . gwen : i wonder abouthahat . you know , i wonder if the reason you 're so concerned about little ethan is because he 's an extension of theresa . maybe the reason you 're so passionate about him and his well - being is because you 're still passionate about theresa . pilar : you think i 'm going to let the cranes get away with this , take away your child , my grandson , without a fight ? antonio and luis can help in some way , i 'm sure . theresa : ok . what about sheridan ? sheridan -- she 's got millions if not billions of dollars . woody : ooh , be still my heart . theresa : we could have antonio ask sheridan to help us . pilar : no , he can not ! woody : ooh , ooh . more chest pains ? more ? there s why not , mama ? pilar : because sheridan 's mental state has been deteriorating since she lost her baby , and i still do n't know what happened to her at sarah 's funeral . the point is , mija , she has a lot of problems right now . we do n't need to add yours to the mix . it 's just too much of a burden . theresa : i understand . lalar : ok . theresa : i 'm going to take out a mortgage on the home . and as soon as i get a check , i 'll pay you . but you 'll go bat for me now , right ? woody : oh -- oh , indeed , theresa . of course i will . i will . i will climb that mountain of injustice , yes , i will . i will fight the good fight and -- and fight onward and upward against the jagged rocks of tyranny until i -- i reach the summit of vindicioion and the crest of victory , and like moses , i will come back down from that mountain with your progeny . but , first , i 'm going to need a stipend for dinner -- to ponder , to pontificate , to proceed , yes . perchance to dream , mm - hmm . pilar : there you go . woody : oh , there -- there 's a two drink minimum . yes . oh , plus gratuity . mm- hmm . ok , um -- i 'll see you ladies later , all right ? theresa : ok . woody : how do you say ? hasta manana . theresa : yeah . woody : you - all take care now . all right . bye . hello . pilar : oy . i 'm glad he 's gone . theresa : so am i , mama . now we can go to the mansion and i can see little ethan . pilar : esta loca , theresa ? i am sure rebecca has ordered crane security to shoot you on sight ! theresa : that 's why you got to sneak me in , mama . pilar : oh , god . please give me strength . theresa : please . i need to see my son . pilar : yeah . of course you do , of course you do . theresa : thank you . pilar : all right , all right . theresa : ok . pilar : i will get you in . and pray to god that nobyy catches us , because i shudder to think what will happen if they do . let 's go . ethan : you 're wrong . i 'm not passionate about little ethan 's wl - l - being because of any passion i have for theresa . i 'm his godfather . i just do n't want to see my godson hurt from your mother 's vendetta against theresa , ok ? little ethan is innocent . gwen : so was sarah . ethan : i know that . but two wrongs are n't going to make a right , gwen . what , what -- what 's wrong , bud ? how 's that picture coming , huh ? what 's wrong ? little ethan : oh . i want my mommy . theresa : oh , mama , little ethan , he 's upset . i 've got to go inside and see him . pilar : no , theresa -- shh ! you ca n't just barge in there . rebecca will have you arrested for trespassing . theresa : ok , well , then , what am i supposed to do , mama , because i ca n't stand to see him like this ? pilar : i know , i know . theresa : well , what do we do ? pilar : oh , look -- that 's wendy . she 'll probably take him to the nursery . we 'll go up the back stairs . theresa : ok . pilar : come on . we 'll see him there . theresa : oh , ok . ethan : ok , little ethan , this is wendy , ok ? she 's going to take you upstairs , all right ? wendy : we can look at your favorite pop - up book -- the one with the lions ? little ethan : lions ? wendy : yeah -- lions and tigers and bears . little ethan : oh , my . gwen : you see ? little ethan is going to be fine . he 'll adjust to living here without theresa . ethan : i do n't want my godson to adjust to being without his mother . gwen : you are forever theresa 's hero , are n't you ? ethan : honey , no . i am concerned about his welfare . and you know what ? i think deep down , past all your anger for theresa , you are , too . can you really live the rest of your life knowing that you had a part in keeping an innocent child away from its mother ? gwen : ethan , that 's not up to me . the courts are going to make that decision . rebecca : gwen , what 's wrong ? uh -- where -- where 's little ethan ? gwen : one of the servants took him up to the nursery . rebecca : well , i thought you were going to stay with him . gwen : i was . i was , but -- i just really do n't like the idea of little ethan being used as some sort of means of revenge . ok , maybe it was not a good idea to take him away from -- rebecca : no , no , no , no . gwen , this is no time to develop a conscience . theresa is going to have to suffer the loss of her child the same way you have . gwen : i know . but i just talked to ethan , and he seems determined to help his godson . rebecca : he did n't say he would help him legally , did he ? gwen : no , no . and he said theresa was out of his life for good , but he 's worried about little ethan . rebecca : well , ethan 's just going to have to worry . and as for the funeral- crashing fajita , i am going to make certain that she 's kept away from little ethan . oh , mark my words , gwen -- theresa is never going to be with her child again . little ethan : mommy ! theresa : oh , sweetheart . oh , my goodness . oh , my goodness . i missed you so much . pilar : wendy , you can go now . i will take care of little ethan . wendy : oh , but ms . hotchkiss said that -- pilar : no ! please . i will handle any trouble , ok ? wendy : yes , ma'am . theresa : oh , my goodness . you are such a wonderful , wonderful little boy . and do n't worry , ok ? i 'm not going to let anyone ever take you away from me , ok ? ever . ever . last night , apartment 7a used a regular breath - freshening toothpaste .

dr. gallagher : i ca n't say without running further tests , but there is something wrong with the baby 's intestinal tract . and if we ca n't turn this thing around , well , i -- luis : you what ? dr. gallagher : if we ca n't turn things around , your son could die . ethan : what is he doing here at the mansion ? gwen : he 's julian 's son . i mean , it 's only natural that child protective services would bring him here after declaring theresa an unfit mother . ethan : yeah , well , i know a little bit about julian 's parenting skills , given the fact that i thought he was my father for 20 years of my life . and trust me , little ethan would fare better being raised by a pack of wolves than by julian , ok ? the man is not fit to raise baby chickens , much less a child . little ethan should be with his mother . gwen : no , he shouldn't . ethan : gw , , why not ? i mean , she loves him with all her heart . gwen : but , ethan , that 's not the issue . the issue here is whether theresa can take care of little ethan , whether she can give him everything he needs . and obviously , child protective services does n't think theresa can . little ethan : where 's mommy ? i want my mommy . ethan : hey , buddy , your mommy 's not here , but , hey , you know that i 'm going to take care of you , right ? ok , well , here 's what i want you to do . i want you to awaw a really , really nice picture , ok ? something really special while i talk to gwen some more , ok ? all right . that 's a good guy . look , i know that you blame theresa for sarah 's death , but do punish this little guy by keeping him away from his mother just because you 're angry at theresa . gwen : i just ca n't believe you 're taking her side again . ethan : i am not taking her side . i 'm taking little ethan 's side . he 's an innocent in all of this . and i do n't want to see him suffer by being away from his mother . gwen : ethan , you promised me on sarah 's coffin that theresa was out of your life for good , but is she ? ethan : yes , i swear . gwen : i wonder abouthahat . you know , i wonder if the reason you 're so concerned about little ethan is because he 's an extension of theresa . maybe the reason you 're so passionate about him and his well - being is because you 're still passionate about theresa . pilar : you think i 'm going to let the cranes get away with this , take away your child , my grandson , without a fight ? antonio and luis can help in some way , i 'm sure . theresa : ok . what about sheridan ? sheridan -- she 's got millions if not billions of dollars . woody : ooh , be still my heart . theresa : we could have antonio ask sheridan to help us . pilar : no , he can not ! woody : ooh , ooh . more chest pains ? more ? there s why not , mama ? pilar : because sheridan 's mental state has been deteriorating since she lost her baby , and i still do n't know what happened to her at sarah 's funeral . the point is , mija , she has a lot of problems right now . we do n't need to add yours to the mix . it 's just too much of a burden . theresa : i understand . lalar : ok . theresa : i 'm going to take out a mortgage on the home . and as soon as i get a check , i 'll pay you . but you 'll go bat for me now , right ? woody : oh -- oh , indeed , theresa . of course i will . i will . i will climb that mountain of injustice , yes , i will . i will fight the good fight and -- and fight onward and upward against the jagged rocks of tyranny until i -- i reach the summit of vindicioion and the crest of victory , and like moses , i will come back down from that mountain with your progeny . but , first , i 'm going to need a stipend for dinner -- to ponder , to pontificate , to proceed , yes . perchance to dream , mm - hmm . pilar : there you go . woody : oh , there -- there 's a two drink minimum . yes . oh , plus gratuity . mm- hmm . ok , um -- i 'll see you ladies later , all right ? theresa : ok . woody : how do you say ? hasta manana . theresa : yeah . woody : you - all take care now . all right . bye . hello . pilar : oy . i 'm glad he 's gone . theresa : so am i , mama . now we can go to the mansion and i can see little ethan . pilar : esta loca , theresa ? i am sure rebecca has ordered crane security to shoot you on sight ! theresa : that 's why you got to sneak me in , mama . pilar : oh , god . please give me strength . theresa : please . i need to see my son . pilar : yeah . of course you do , of course you do . theresa : thank you . pilar : all right , all right . theresa : ok . pilar : i will get you in . and pray to god that nobyy catches us , because i shudder to think what will happen if they do . let 's go . ethan : you 're wrong . i 'm not passionate about little ethan 's wl - l - being because of any passion i have for theresa . i 'm his godfather . i just do n't want to see my godson hurt from your mother 's vendetta against theresa , ok ? little ethan is innocent . gwen : so was sarah . ethan : i know that . but two wrongs are n't going to make a right , gwen . what , what -- what 's wrong , bud ? how 's that picture coming , huh ? what 's wrong ? little ethan : oh . i want my mommy . theresa : oh , mama , little ethan , he 's upset . i 've got to go inside and see him . pilar : no , theresa -- shh ! you ca n't just barge in there . rebecca will have you arrested for trespassing . theresa : ok , well , then , what am i supposed to do , mama , because i ca n't stand to see him like this ? pilar : i know , i know . theresa : well , what do we do ? pilar : oh , look -- that 's wendy . she 'll probably take him to the nursery . we 'll go up the back stairs . theresa : ok . pilar : come on . we 'll see him there . theresa : oh , ok . ethan : ok , little ethan , this is wendy , ok ? she 's going to take you upstairs , all right ? wendy : we can look at your favorite pop - up book -- the one with the lions ? little ethan : lions ? wendy : yeah -- lions and tigers and bears . little ethan : oh , my . gwen : you see ? little ethan is going to be fine . he 'll adjust to living here without theresa . ethan : i do n't want my godson to adjust to being without his mother . gwen : you are forever theresa 's hero , are n't you ? ethan : honey , no . i am concerned about his welfare . and you know what ? i think deep down , past all your anger for theresa , you are , too . can you really live the rest of your life knowing that you had a part in keeping an innocent child away from its mother ? gwen : ethan , that 's not up to me . the courts are going to make that decision . rebecca : gwen , what 's wrong ? uh -- where -- where 's little ethan ? gwen : one of the servants took him up to the nursery . rebecca : well , i thought you were going to stay with him . gwen : i was . i was , but -- i just really do n't like the idea of little ethan being used as some sort of means of revenge . ok , maybe it was not a good idea to take him away from -- rebecca : no , no , no , no . gwen , this is no time to develop a conscience . theresa is going to have to suffer the loss of her child the same way you have . gwen : i know . but i just talked to ethan , and he seems determined to help his godson . rebecca : he did n't say he would help him legally , did he ? gwen : no , no . and he said theresa was out of his life for good , but he 's worried about little ethan . rebecca : well , ethan 's just going to have to worry . and as for the funeral- crashing fajita , i am going to make certain that she 's kept away from little ethan . oh , mark my words , gwen -- theresa is never going to be with her child again . little ethan : mommy ! theresa : oh , sweetheart . oh , my goodness . oh , my goodness . i missed you so much . pilar : wendy , you can go now . i will take care of little ethan . wendy : oh , but ms . hotchkiss said that -- pilar : no ! please . i will handle any trouble , ok ? wendy : yes , ma'am . theresa : oh , my goodness . you are such a wonderful , wonderful little boy . and do n't worry , ok ? i 'm not going to let anyone ever take you away from me , ok ? ever . ever . last night , apartment 7a used a regular breath - freshening toothpaste .

's . god , mama . he loves that little girl with every single thing that 's in his body . it 's going to kill him when he has to give her up . so i just -- i thought that -- that maybe having another little baby to spoil and to love would just help smooth over all the hurt from losing bess and our little boy . and i 'm not saying that -- that any baby could ever make up for bess or him . but i just thought that maybe -- maybe another little baby could help -- help j.r. get through all the heartache . i do n't know . krystal : oh , honey .

's . god , mama . he loves that little girl with every single thing that 's in his body . it 's going to kill him when he has to give her up . so i just -- i thought that -- that maybe having another little baby to spoil and to love would just help smooth over all the hurt from losing bess and our little boy . and i 'm not saying that -- that any baby could ever make up for bess or him . but i just thought that maybe -- maybe another little baby could help -- help j.r. get through all the heartache . i do n't know . krystal : oh , honey .

blair : i do n't know . i just -- i heard a gunshot ! all i know is i heard a gunshot . bo : keep her here . keep her here . blair : do n't . bo : you ready ? blair : be careful , bo . starr : do you miss your mom when she 's gone ? jessica : yeah , i do , a lot . i bet you miss your mom right now , too . starr : my dad will save her . he 'll bring her back . i just really miss her . jessica : you know what ? sometimes when my mom 's away , i get scared . starr : i did n't say i was scared ! jessica : no , of course not . i was talking about me . i 'm pretty sure you 're the bravest girl i 've ever met . starr : mom , dad ! viki : starr , hi ! hi , baby . jessica : mom , i 'm so happy you 're home . viki : what 's wrong ? jessica : it 's blair . there might be a problem . starr : he took her , aunt viki ! the bad man took her and my dad went to go save her ! viki : what ? what are you talking about ? starr : the bad man ! he stole my mom and my dad went to go find her ! he 's going to save her ! viki : oh , ok . you know what , sweetheart ? would you do me a big favor ? starr : what ? viki : well , i 'm starving . would you go to the kitchen and get us -- i do n't know -- some cookies or something , and i 'm going to hang my coat up , ? ? starr : you 're going to talk to jessica about my mom and dad , are n't you ? well , do n't worry because my dad promised me that nothing bad would happen . and he 's going to be a hero . he is . blair : you have to let me go in there . officer : you ca n't do that right now , ma'am . blair : you do n't understand ! the father of my children are in there -- officer : i ca n't let you ! blair : i have to go to him ! officer : ma'am , all you can do right now is wait . blair : no . just let me go ! bo : cover me . bo : manning ?

jessica : and then todd came in and he found starr . viki : oh , please , and i know what happened next . he decided to go rescue blair himself , right ? jessica : bo is out looking for them now . viki : i do n't understand any of this . i mean , i do not understand why mitch would want starr or blair in the first place . i mean , what did he think , that -- oh , i know . he thought todd would maybe lead them -- lead him to you ? jessica : or natalie . viki : no , natalie 's in hiding . todd has no idea where natalie is . jessica : yeah . well , clearly bo thinks that perhaps todd followed a police officer up there that was sent to go and check on cristian and natalie . viki : so he thinks that todd was looking for natalie so that he could trade her for blair ? no . no , honey , i do n't believe that . i mean , i know that todd would do anything to save blair 's life . i do not believe that he would ever put any of my children in danger . i do n't believe that . jessica : well , starr said that todd said that no one would get hurt . so i 'm assuming he thinks that he can get everybody out . viki : do you know he 's gone and done it again . i mean , why did n't he just go to the police ? oh , no . this is some day , is n't it ? jessica : oh , mom , i 'm so sorry . i did n't ask you about ben . is he ok ? viki : oh , oh , sweetheart . thank you . yes . he 's the same , ok ? he 's still in a very deep coma , but he made the trip , the plane trip , from switzerland to new york just fine . yeah . well , now , we 're going to have to figure out what we 're going to do to help blair . starr : here 's your cookies . now tell me what you were talking to jessica about my mom and dad . heddy : i 'm so sorry , mrs. davidson . viki : oh , that 's perfectly all right , heddy . it 's fine . thank you . i was actually about to tell jessica that we 're going to the police station . starr : no , you ca n't . i promised my dad that i would n't talk to the police . viki : well , you 're not going to the police , so you 're not going to break your promise . you 're going to stay right here with heddy . starr : no way ! viki : yes , you are ! starr : no way ! i 'm going ! viki : starr , your mother and father are doing absolutely everything they can to get back to you . when they do , they 're going to come here first , so you have to stay here . starr : but i do n't want to wait . viki : hey . you have no choice , ok ? besides , i need somebody to look after this place while jessie and i are gone . so do you think you could do that for me ? can you be the mistress of the house for a while ? starr : ok . viki : can you do that ? starr : yeah . viki : ok . now , if your mother and father call you , you call me immediately . starr : yes . jessica : or if you hear from natalie . starr : ok . viki : ok , you have my cell phone number ?

i mean , did you find the evidence that you wanted against him ? jen : nope . there was n't anything . look , i just want to get out of here . did n't you used to work here ? maybe you could speed up the paperwork or something . marcie : well , yeah , i could -- jen : great . marcie : but i ca n't . i 'm so sorry , jen . it 's my second shift . i ca n't be late . i mean , mrs. vega 's really nice , but i already broke a coffee pot and two plates . jen : you know what ? forget it . you know , you would n't want to upset my ex- boyfriend 's mother . marcie : cristian did come to see you here , right ? jen : what do you think ? marcie : i 'm sorry . jen : yeah , cristian and i are over . i do n't know where he is or who he 's with , but he 's definitely not thinking about me . antonio : come on , cris . come on , i just need you to say one word . i just need to know that you can hear me . bo : check on that ambulance , and if the roads are bad , i want a medic here . officer : yes , sir . bo : what happened here ? todd : well , i 'll fill you in as soon as i get to see blair . bo : blair 's fine . she 's outside . she 's with an officer right now . no , you 're not going anywhere , manning , until i get some answers . todd : mitch laurence took blair . i came here to get -- to get her back . bo : and you brought natalie with y ? todd : it was the only way . he said that he wanted to do some kind of a trade . it 's not like i was actually going to give her to that freak . bo : well , what happened ? todd : i was on the stage with natalie , and the guy kept talking over the p.a . or something . i do n't know . he never even showed his face . and i had no idea where blair was . bo : when did cristian walk in ? todd : he just kept yammering on and on about how i had to let natalie go and then -- bo : how did cristian get shot ? todd : he 's going to be all right , right ? bo : you better hope so . todd : me ? me ? mitch is the guy . he was going to take starr ! he took blair , he kidnapped her ! he said he was going to kill her ! bo : yeah , and then instead of coming to me , you decided to play vigilante ! you 're in this thing deep , todd ! and if cristian dies , you 're going to be a lot worse off . who shot cristian ? todd : you 're really going to ask that , huh ? mitch shot cristian ! who the hell else do you think did it ? bo : all right . then let 's get this clear -- is this your gun ? todd : yeah , that 's my gun . i got a permit . you can check it . bo : no , i will ! todd : yeah . bo : this gun 's been fired recently . todd : well , i shot it at the audience somewhere out there . maybe you can go . maybe you 'll find mitch laurence 's corpse . i hope you do . bo : what 's the word on the ambulance ? officer : it 's been dispatched , sir , but there 's no sign of your niece or the suspect . bo : well , then what are you doing here ? expand the search . i want roadblocks on every major artery , all right ? you find laurence ! and do n't come back here until you 've got natalie with you ! mitch : here we are , home sweet home . come on , get in .

[ scene_break ] kate : why -- why do you insist on being so self - righteous ? billie : because i was a cop and isa , and you tampered with evidence . kate : oh , this is coming from my daughter who gave a phony confession , who was willing to go to jail to keep her daughter from being arrested . why is that any different from what i 'm doing ? it 's not . i 'll tell you , it 's not . you 're just like your brother austin . you 'll take any excuse -- any excuse not to be happy . billie : what the hell is that supposed to mean , mother ? kate : what that means is that you 're acting like this is the worst thing that could possibly happen to you when it 's absolutely the best thing that could happen to you and chelsea . you are being given another shot at the man that you love . for god 's sakes , take it .

[ scene_break ] brody : you know who wes is ? tess : that guy ? i ca n't believe he got out . brody : why not ? tess : because usually bess keeps him locked up . brody : well , he was here with marty and the baby just a little while ago . tess : sorry . we do n't really talk . john : i ca n't deal with this anymore . i 'm gon na follow up with the search . tess : sorry . seriously , if i knew something , i 'd tell you . brody : because you 're my buddy ? do n't you hold out on me , tess . tess : i did n't even see marty and the baby . i have no idea where she went . brody : does jessica know ? tess : i do n't know . brody : then let her come out so she can tell me herself . cutter : hey , hey . leave her alone . tess : do n't worry . she 's not even trying to get out , ape man . she obviously does n't want to see your love child reunited with you and natalie .

( laughs ) oh , it 's the kind of place that i always fantasized i 'd live in . and now it 's our home , jack 's and mine . i could n't be more thrilled to be his wife again . dr. p. : it was shocking for me walking in , seeing how much you 've changed . ( sighs ) you look exactly like me , patty . patty : i do ? thank you . that 's really sweet of you to say . i - i - i always wanted to be more like you , look like you . you 're so kind and wonderful and strong , not to mention beautiful . dr. p. : oh , but , patty , you were beautiful just the way you were . how did this happen ? patty : how did what happen ? dr. p. : you could n't have changed so drastically on your own . someone had to help you . who was it ?
